John,
Do you have something up so that I can take a look at it to see what you are
trying to do? I can only imagine you are using something like Thickbox or
something similar where the page being loaded into the modal box is actually
in an iframe. If so, you should treat things as if it is from iframe to
parent.
Can you clarify what you are trying to do a little more? or post a url to
what you have already.
Ben
btw: for future reference, you will get more help if you have a relevant
subject line.
