gwt - access from iframe page

Question

mainpage.html

<html>
<div id="123" name="foo"></div>
<iframe src="/innerpage.html"></iframe>
</html>

innerpage.html:

<html> 
 and here is some GWT widget that needs to access the div with id="123":
 DOM.getElementById("123").getAttribute("name") 
</html>

Just as an FYI -- you don't have to deploy gwt as an iframe... — Abdullah Jibaly, Jun 29 '11 at 19:11
That is also a good point, if you can, I would deploy GWT directly into the page as it removes other headaches as well. — Brad Gardner, Jun 29 '11 at 19:15

You should be able to do this using parent.getElementById("123");

Note that the innerpage and mainpage will likely need to be within the same domain to prevent this getting flagged as cross-site scripting.
