UIWebView -stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString: fill textbox in iFrame content?

I'm not a master of JavaScript and I'm having trouble, so I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong or what I'm intending is not possible.

In my webpage, I have an iFramed chatbox. The chatbox has 3 text fields, one for username, one for email address, and one for the message. You can see it and inspect its content here: http://appsylvania.com/Chatroom.html

I want to automatically fill the username ("nme") and email ("eml") text fields with a javaScript call. I've inserted a function into the page itself like so:

function fillFields(name,email) {
    var nameText = document.getElementsByName("nme");
    nameText.value = name;
    var emailText = document.getElementsByName("eml");
    emailText.value = email;
}

So, shouldn't this work?

//in UIWebView didFinishLoad delegate method
[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"fillFields('justin','[email protected]');"];

It doesn't seem to do anything. My guess is that it doesn't work because I'm either doing it wrong or javascript doesn't work on iFrame content.

Thanks for your help.

Did you try accessing via the iFrame? 

var ifrm = document.getElementById('cboxmain5-697468');
var nameText = ifrm.getElementsByName("nme");
