Example
A document script might be using the ID of an IFRAME element to read or adjust
one of the element properties; it then needs to perform some action on the content
of the page through its document object. You can get the reference to the document
object via a statement, such as the following:
var doc = document.getElementById(“FRAME3”).contentDocument
Then your script can, for example, dive into a form in the document:
var val = doc.mainForm.entry.value

Example
The following fragment sets the white space surrounding an IFRAME element to
an equal amount:
document.all.myIframe.hspace = 20
document.all.myIframe.vspace = 20
Unfortunately these changes do not work for IE5/Windows.
