Answer is too long to print here, but you can find it in gory detail on
page 106, 107 of "Dynamic HTML" by Danny Goodman (O'Reilly). Sorry,
O'Reilly does not seem to have a download file for the examples in that
book., at least not at the time of printing (July 98). They may have it
now, try, start with www.oreilly.com. You need example 5-5.
Personally I have used a different technique: I fire up a separate
window from a script within a frame header of the main window (either
when loading or later, with a click event). The reference to this
separate window  can be used to manipulate its content from within other
windows. Procedure probably needs some modification if one does not use
frames; then the script probably should go in the top window. Trick
works for both Navigator and Internet Explorer, be it with minor browser
specific accomodation.
Here follows the main part of the script:
...
function basket() {
 mand = window.open(filestring, "mok", features, true);
....
and here is a call to a function (slect0) in the "mok" window:
....

<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="test" VALUE="Test the basket"
onClick="parent.mand.slect0(this,'Click')">
.......

"filestring" and "features" are browser specific, at least for my
purposes.
The basket is fired up from within one of the frames with:
.........
<INPUT TYPE=button NAME="basket" VALUE="Click here for a basket"
onClick="parent.basket()">
...............
