I'm developing a Perl CGI/Javascript data entry app that also needs to get data from the server to the local browser forms. I've got the forms and uploading part working, but I'm stuck on the download part. I have three frames: A menu frame, a data entry frame, and a buffer frame. I can download the needed html form data to the buffer frame using the target attribute, and run my onLoad="handelCGI();" script, but any reference to the other frames (using parent) gives a "Permission Denied" javascript error. Can anyone suggest what is wrong and if there is a way. I very much want to limit my tools to Perl CGI and Javascript. Thank you for any help, Irv
