We have built an Xpage application with a tabbed container inside.
The first page of the tab container holds a view, when clicked on a document inside this view, a new tab with the corresponding document is added to the tabcontainer. This new tabpage holds a panel with the scr attribute, the url of the to be displayed page is given to this panel's src attribute. The result is that we have a tabpage with an iframe, the iframe holds our document page.

Problem:

From inside this iframe we need to get a component (SSJS or Java) from our parent webpage. The getComponent function does not work in this case, because it will only search inside the current component tree (of the iFrame not the parent page).

I'm looking for a way to get a component from the parent page...

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Thanks :-)
