Simple answer is that you can't. Although all the code resides in the same browser security models will prevent frames populated from different servers from interacting. There are ways to get around it however... but none are simple or pretty. +) You might use a server-side proxy. Instead of the iFrame fetching the form have your server do it and pass it to the client. Then all the frames will be populated from the same server and you'll be set. Of course this can get tricky if the frame is dynamic or client-specific. +) You can use a browser security mode which doesn't prevent this. In the IE world this would mean using the HTA (HyperText Application) capabilities of IE 5+. FireFox has, I believe a similar "high rights" mode. I LOVE this stuff but it's not something to do lightly: you lose browser chrome and capabilities. In effect your just running HTML/DHTML in a "blank" browser container. It's great for building client-side apps using web technologies but isn't something to decide to solve a web page problem. I'm sure there are other options... but they're all going to be sea-changes. Doing this in a "normal" browser environment just isn't allowed.
