linking from svg to html frames

I have svg in one frame and I want a click on an svg object to change
the contents of a sibling frame.

the main problem is that I cant refer to the sibling frame in javascript
within the svg.

my attempt is at
http://home.vicnet.net.au/~hollow/chad/muck/frameset.html and the source
is below

Where is the specification of what is supposed to work?

Thanks in advance

Chad

<html>
  <frameset rows="1*,1*,1*">
    <frame scrolling='yes' name='ff1' src='frames.html#f1' id="ff1"/>
    <frame scrolling='yes' name='ff2' src='frames.html#f2'/>
    <frame scrolling='yes' name='ff3' src='frames.html#f3'/>
  </frameset>
</html>

  <body>
    <script type="text/javascript"> <!--
          function inHtml(a) {
            top.ff1.location=a;
          }
    --> </script>
    <h1>Refereneces in svg in one frame to other frames </h1>
    <p>
      I cant seem to change the location of sibling frames.<br>
      Is there a reference for this behaviour.

    <p>
      <a target="top"
href="http://www.svgfaq.com/Frames.asp">http://www.svgfaq.com/Frames.asp</a>
seems to say I can get at the frames
      <a name="f1">I have tried both object and embed<a><br>
      <span   onclick='top.ff1.location="frames.html#f4"'>just check
that html works</span><br>
    </p>
    <a name="f2">f2<a><br>

  <text x = '30' y='135'> try window.parent.parent.frames[0]  in case I
dont understand</text>


  <circle cx='10' cy='150' r='5' 
onclick='top.location="frames.html#f4"'/>
  <text x = '30' y='155'>Shows that you can refer to top</text>
