iframe accessing child JavaScript of source

I have been trying to access a html source file through iframe. It works fine and I can see the source, but my external JavaScript file doesn't work through the iframe.

So far this is what I have for accessing the HTML file.

<iframe src="Example.html">
     <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>

and then in Example.html I have:

<script src="SpinScript.js"></script>

This works if I run the HTML file in any browser, but not through the iframe

In this HTML file I have other JavaScript elements but they are just written in this document and they work fine through the iframe.

What I'm wondering is if have to re-establish where the JavaScript file is in the iframe?

Hope that all makes sense and thanks for your time.

Your parent window and iframe should be from the same source (url), then you can use window.frames[framename] to get window object in iframe
