Is there a way to call a JavaScript function that is inside an IFrame from the parent?
That depends on the contents of the IFrame. If the content is from another domain then you’re out of luck, as most modern browsers have closed that loophole for cross-site attacks.
However, if the content is from the SAME domain then you can use it as it were simply another method on the IFrame
windowobject. If I recall correctly you can use something likewindow.frames["_your_IFrame_ID_"].window.functionOrMethodName().
