This is probably a very basic question, but I could not get my way around this. I have the following defined in MainPage.jsp file. 

    <html>
     <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
        </head>

        <frameset rows="44,*,26" cols="*">
           <frame src="SubFrame1.jsp" name="SubFrame1" scrolling="no" id="SubFrame1" />
           <frame src="SubFrame2.jsp" id="SubFrame2" title="SubFrame2" />
        </frameset>

        <noframes>
        <body style="overflow:hidden">
        </body>
        </noframes>

        </html>

How can I access any element defined in one sub frame page (E.g. SubFrame1.jsp) from another (E.g. SubFrame2.jsp)?

Thank you.

    You can do this with javascript. Use parent.frame_name. Here you can find a example.

    EDIT:

    Assuming that you have one input called “someinput” in the subframe one:

    <input type='text' name='someinput' id='someinput' value='my value!' />

    You can access the value in the subframe two by javascript:

    <script type='text/javascript'>
  alert(window.parent.SubFrame1.document.getElementById('someinput').value);
</script>

    But be aware that using frames is obsolate option. It’s better to divide your content with divs and use css to the style of them.
