I'm not having any luck using parent.results. If I do this even:
this.db_info_script = script; this.results = false; } DB_info.prototype.get_columns = function(table) { $.post(this.db_info_script, { action: "get_columns", table: table}, function(json) { alert(parent.results); parent.results = json; },"json"); } that alert returns says undefined and not false, which, I think, is what I'd need to know I was on the right track. Or maybe I'm missing something big. That sure seems possible :-/ that alert
