how to call javascript function on Parent page from inside an iframe page?

Question

I want to call a javascript function of parent page where iframe is placed. from the page inside an iframe.

i have tried parent.function_in_parent(); its not working

yes both are in same domain.

for example: there are 5 .net pages page1.aspx,page2.aspx,page3.aspx,page4.aspx,page5.aspx and master.aspx

master.aspx contains the iframe with source page1.aspx, i want to call function abc() written in master.aspx from page1.aspx

please post your code. before asking question, do some home work and give as much good information on the problem. so that everbody can understand it. — Ravi Gadag, Mar 08 '13 at 06:39
There is also `Same Origin Policy` to consider http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9700766/iframe-call-parent-function — Arun P Johny, Mar 08 '13 at 06:40
If short, if both the parent and child are from same origin then it should be possible, else `Same Origin Policy` will prevent it — Arun P Johny, Mar 08 '13 at 06:42

Check this

If your iframe has the different domain to the parent, your work will be a lot more harder. You'll need to see easyXDM
