Calling $ from inside an iframe

Calling $ from inside an iframe

Hi,

i guess this isn't really jQuery specific rather than it is a global JS-thing, but I tried general solutions for this and they all did not work so I figured this might be because I'm trying to do this with the $ function.

What I wanna do is this: I have a document with an iFrame. From inside that iFrame I wanna call the $-function of the original (parent) document. I tried so many things like

parent.$
top.$
window.parent / top.$
the stuff above with .document.$

and other stuff but none of that works. So, how do you call $ of the real document from inside an iFrame?

Thanks
Luke
