I have to write some clicky GUI code - I'm not very good at this stuff (I'm a back end guy!), and I'm not sure how to accomplish this.

Given a page with a frameset, I need to display a local page on top, and a client's page on the bottom. A lot like Google Images, but it will be mostly or all text.

When someone clicks or double clicks or selects or any type of interaction that can be coded - when somebody "points to" a word or phrase in the top frame, I need to figure out how to auto find that on the bottom page.

Is that possible? How would I figure out how to do it?

OK, I figured most of it out, but I have one question left.

I'm using window.find(str) to do the magic. And it's working great, within the top frame. What I really need is to handle an event in the top frame, but search the bottom frame.

I figured out how to call things like parent.frames[1].document.body.createTextRange(), but document and body have to find method. And I don't understand the DOM hierarchy.

Got pretty much everything working. Top frame sadly has a form with a text box and a button, and then the code works.

Is it possible to execute my function when somebody finishes selecting text in the top frame?

Got it, thanks to this tutorial
