Undefined error when passing variable between child frames

I keep getting an error when attempting to pass a variable from one child frame (contentframe) to another (topframe)

from contentframe:

<SCRIPT>
top.topframe.document.somevar.value = "testing123"
</SCRIPT>

and then in the body of topframe:

<SCRIPT> document.write(somevar); </SCRIPT>

Both child frames reside in the same frameset, so I suppose using "parent" instead of top should also work, but neither do.

The method needs to work in as many browsers as possible, including AOL. I tried writing to a DIV tag, while it works it isn't supported by older browsers.
