I'm working on a ancient project which is based on and tags.

Here's the common HTML structure of the parent page (index.html):

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd>

<html lang=en>

<head>  

</head>

<frameset rows=75px,* frameborder=0>

    <frame name=frame1 src=frames/frame1.html>

    <frameset class=child_frameset>

        <frame name=frame3 src=frames/frame3.html>

    </frameset>

</frameset>

</html>

Here how I specify the javascript function on the child frame (frame3.html):

<!DOCTYPE html>  

<html lang=en>  

<head>

    <script type=text/javascript>

        function helloWorld(){

            alert('hello world!');

        }

    </script>   

</head>

<body>

    <h1>I'm frame 3</h1>

</body>

</html>

My task is to call helloWorld() function. How do I do that?

Thanks in advance!

You can do it like this:

document.getElementById('frame3').contentWindow.helloWorld();
