Is this a frame security thing? If the content of the iframe is not from 
the same host as the main page, I believe xss security prevents scripts 
from either manipulating the other?

I've never tried communicating between an iframe and a parent docuemnt, 
but (a long time, several years ago) I wrote some code that happily 
communicated between frames in a frameset - is communication between 
parent and child fundamentally different to that between a frameset and  
a frame's content?
