I have some javascript code that’s meant to pull out the url and title  
of whatever’s in an iframe:

top.iframe\_name.location.href  
top.iframe\_name.document.title

However i’m getting this script error when i call the action (by  
pressing a button at the moment, for testing purposes):

“uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property  
HTMLDocument.title”

I can get the title ok for my main page (ie the one that holds the  
iframe).

Does anyone know what might be the problem here? Thanks in advance…
