Typical property top.frames[name or number].document.forms[ index and not name ].elementname.value illustrates hierarchy going from top to bottom as one goes from left to right |
One can also use framename instead of frames["framename"] -- latter is very much more convenient as can access more easily as variable frame in JavaScript code |
Note manual written to accomodate both client(navigator) and server(LiveWire) objects but this presentation only covers client side (Server side introduced April 96) |
navigator window and frame are objects defining hierarchy of cascading containers |
document form history link location are objects defining parts of a window or frame. |
anchors links forms frames are array properties |
top parent self are properties labelling particular frames and windows |
