accessing links within an iframe

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 14.2005

Hi,

I have an html document which:

A) contains an iframe: “iframe1”
? opens a pop-up window: “popup1”

How can I access the iframe’s link object from the popup window.

I’ve tried everything. The closest I’ve come to it is placing the code below in the popup1 window:

[CODE]
var iframelinks = opener.document.getElementById(‘iframe1’);
var iframelinks2 = iframelinks.document.links[0].href;
document.write(iframelinks2);
[/CODE]

Using my amateur logic, iframelinks2 should be referencing a link within the iframe, but instead it references a link in the main parent window.

any help is appreciated. thanks.
