Thanks for the try Israel.  I just figured it out myself.  Just an FYI for
other developers...

I currently have a frameset where one of the frame pages host a hidden input
tag.  I would like to retrieve the value of this hidden tag from the second
frame page.  In IE I can access the value by using:

	top.frameName.formName.hiddenName.value

However I receive the following error in Netscape:


	top.frameName.formName.hiddenName has no properties. 

I am trying to stay optimistic that this is possible within Netscape if I
just use the right combination of objects.  If anyone could help, it would
be greatly appreciated.
