    Sadly "onload" is not an OK event for "iframe"

BUT

    You gave me a good clue "onfocus" is an OK event and it all works

Thanks Again

Managed to work out a way roud it, it seems you can't use window.parent to
grab a ref to the hta, so...

Add a function call to the onload event of your iframe:

<iframe id=Viewer src="test_sites.htm" onload='PassRef();'></iframe>

Pass a reference to the window(hta) to the iframe:

function PassRef(){
 document.frames[0].goParent=window;
}

In the child page, create a global variable that will be used to store this
reference and use it in your upDate function instead of window.opener:

var goParent;
function upDate() {
 goParent.document.forms.PAGE_NAME.HID_PAGE.value =
document.TRY_IT.IFRAME_INPUT.value;
 goParent.upDate();
}

HTH,

Chris
