    did you try a simple

    parent.palert();

    ?

    like

    <script type="text/javascript">
function palert(){
    alert('h');
}
</script>   
    </head>
    <body>
        <h2>Testing inner frame</h2>
       <iframe src="inner.html" width="100%" height="300">
          <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
          <a href="javascript:parent.palert();">click me</a>
