Hmm, no takers on this one yet. Anyone? I would be happy also with
simply knowing how the page in the iframe can get the id of it's parent
iframe tag. Easier? Jquery or no jquery, either way is fine.

I've googled around and searched this list's history and found various
discussions about how to set a value (in this case, in a hidden form
field) inside of an iframe from the parent, but nothing so far seems
to be making IE happy. I *don't* want to use the frameReady plugin and
am looking for any advice someone might have, or a working example?
I basically have a td with an iframe in it. The src for the iframe is
an html file. The html file loads, and at some point during use the
user will click a button on the parent that has to set a hidden input
field in the iframe. If it matters, jquery is loaded in the iframe.
Thoughts?
Another bonus would be a snippet of script that will resize the
iframe's height to match the height of it's contents. IE: iframe loads
it's src, then something modifies the iframe's height so that the user
will never see scrollbars on the iframe (it's not very tall, but
browser rendering differences make setting a decent looking height a
bit challenging).
