Reloading a Parent Page from it's Child
Thanks. I had tried this but I also specified a font color in my HTML
code as a default and also tried it as a style. It appears that doing
that would over-ride any color I tried to set from the child window. I
since removed the font and/or style from inside the body at each place
I had text, and put in as a default in the Body tag instead and it
seems to work. Is this the behavior I should expect?
