Re: JavaScript communication across the object element

Hmm ... very strange. I was sure I tried upward referencing from the SVG 
document to the HTML document via both 'parent' and 'top' and it didn't 
work. Seems to work fine this time though, so I guess I made a silly 
mistake. Thanks for the help Robert.

FYI examination of the DOM-Level-2-HTML WD reveals that a document embeded 
into a page using the object element should be available from the HTML 
document in the future through:

document.getElementById('obectElementId').contentDocument;

and I guess its window object would be available through:

document.getElementById('obectElementId').contentDocument.window;

I should really have looked at the working draft first. :)

Thanks again,

Jonathan.
