Onmouseover capabilities

[PaPa]

Is it possible to target across frames using mouseover?

I have a document with two frames.
I would like to mouseover a link in frame A to cause some text to
change (in a div or iframe) in frame B.

Can Java script do this?

Thank you,
PaPa

Yes, if the Same Origin Policy allows it.

change (in a div or iframe) in frame B.

Provided that you mean "`a[href]' element" by "link", that frame A and B are
sibling frames with appropriate names and that all document resources are in
the same second-level domain, you can refer to frame B from frame A with

window.parent.frames['frameB']

That is a reference to a Window object which has a `document' property which
has properties such as getElementById(), and Window objects have a `frames'
property to refer to `iframe' Window objects in their document.

I don't know. What is "Java script"?
