**********************VERY URGENT*******************************

Hey,
can any genious help in solving this problem..I am so sick trying for it. (I am new to Javascript)I have my webpage divided into 4 frames-> leftUp, leftRight,rightUp, rightBottom. Now, rightBottom has a location.href changed dynamically and that external page is having a table. And, I have to access the elements of this table loaded dynamically. I have tried calling parent.rigtBottom.document. blah blah.......

and so many things.....but then I saw I am having
parent.rightBottom.location.href = "somepage on my harddisk";
loadDataInTable();
The table frame is displayed fine when I run the page. but it says it cannot access the elements of this table in which I want to feed my data values.
I am setting its location.href but when I alert this location.href after setting....its stills displays the initial frame name.

Can anyone help?
I hope I am clear stating my problem! Thanks in advance.

Assuming all pages are in the same domain (all on same web server or all on hard disk and all accessed via same protocol) then it is possible, otherwise you will be restricted by cross domain security, desined to stop malicious pages reading files from your hard drive. You would need something like (assuming the table has an id of "tblData"):

Code:

var oDoc = top.frames["rightBottom"].document;
var oTable = oDoc.getElementById("tblData");
oTable.rows[0].columns[0].innerHTML = "Hello!";
