    If I remember correctly . . .

    Points to a form element:
    Code:
    parent.document.formName.textName.value="My String Here";
    or
    Points to a <div>
    Code:
    parent.document.divName.innerHTML="My String";

        This is all good and fine, but i need to append (merge) to the parent document, html code that i get from the iframe.

        Let say the parent document looks like this:

        Code:
        <html>
..................
<iframe src="http://mydomain.com/ad.php" height=0 width=0></iframe>
..................
</html>
        In the iframe i get some html that i need to write to the parent document.

        It seems to work the following: from the iframe:
        Code:
        parent.document.open();
parent.document.write("<table>...</table>");
parent.document.close();
        The only problem is that this overwrites the parent document.
        I need to append to the parent.document, not to overwrite it.

          parent.document.getElementById('containerID').innerHTML='<table>...</table>'

              You can refere the content of a tag, then...

              parent.document.getElementsByTagName('table')[i].innerHTML

              check which is the order of the table, from top to bottom, starting from 0.

              For instance, if your table is first, from top to botom, i = 0

              parent.document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0].innerHTML

                  Do you mean the main page is from another domain?
                  If it is, then you can't update it outside of its domain because of cross-domain restriction.

                    Will this work because of cross-domain restriction?

                    index.html of a third party site
                    <script src="http://www.mydomain.com/td.js"></script>
                    <iframe src="http://www.mydomain.com/js.php" width=0 height=0></iframe>


                    js.php:
                    <script>
                    parent.hello();
                    </script>


                    td.js contains the hello() function.
