How can you make two iFrames talk to each other?
For example I was a element value off the 2nd iframe and the 1st iframe has the display element on it. I need to get the value off the 2nd frame to the 1st. How would I do this?

If the <iframe> elements are served from the same domain, then they can access each other directly. For example, in iframe1 you could do:

document.getElementById('someDiv').innerHTML = 

    top.document.getElementById('otherIframe').contentWindow.

    document.getElementById('someOtherDiv').innerHTML;
