  Okay, its late and I'm getting tired and I haven't found a solution.
  
  The problem is this, I'm using a simple javascript function to control the navigation in 2 of the iframes in index.html
  
  function changeSource(frame,url)
  {
  window.parent.document.getElementById(frame).src=url;
  }
  
  An onclick="changeSource('iframe1', 'registration.jsp')" from the child node, ie, either iframe1 or iframe2 should be able to affect the parent, index.html and change the iframe's new src=url.
  
  This actually works PERFECTLY in IE7.
  
  But fails completely in Firefox.
  
  Does firefox not like the window.parent.document.... call or what?
  
  Are there better ways to do this?
  
  Requirements: Iframe1 has to be able to change contents in iframe2.
  
  I'm really out of ideas.

  Stroke of luck, divine intervention, but problem is RESOLVED.
  
  Basically, both the id and name are important for iframes to work PROPERLY in firefox n IE7s.
  
  and for my above code to work, both the id and name for each iframe had to be IDENTICAL.
  
  Firefox would look at the "iframe1" as an id.
  
  IE7 would look at the "iframe1" as a name.
  
  If they differ, only 1 of the browser types would work.
  
  Computers Suck.

  The different browsers sucks.
  
  For goodness sake, IE7 is not following web standards. What works for IE will eventually not work for other browsers.
