Hi:

First, I have problem deciding what say in search to find stuff. Nor very successful using the search here.Usually google then look at the monks results.

In code preceding that below, I do this and that producing a result I send back to an iFrame on the calling form.

I have function (cgi call )on that form to load the result into the iFrame. Works fine when I click the button to call the function.

I have listener on the calling form and i want to execute the call to get the result into the iFrame from a windows message posted from the cgi script (below) after the messages are ready.

Don't know how to address the form. I don't think it is the window.parent of the cgi script. Help.

Best regards 

window.parent.postMessage({
    'func': 'GetFileLoadStatus',
    'message': 'Message text from iframe.'
}, "*");



if ($action eq "updatereport"){
warn("In updatereport before CreateDataFeedbackForm");
CreateDataFeedbackForm($message, $filemessage);
}
