Have the upper frame button's onclick handler call

parent.lowerFrameName.formName.submit();

Michael,

Thanks for that, it works a treat.

I was on the right lines myself, but it didn't work because I tried
addressing the form by index, i.e.
parent.frames[1].forms[0].submit();
and it gave me an error that '... object forms.0' did not exist. Why would
this not work?

Thanks

Bob
