[jQuery] getting to a variable in the parent frame - stumped

[jQuery] getting to a variable in the parent frame - stumped


I'm using frames (don't ask) and have exhausted my abilities
(sniff)... here is some pseudo-code to illustrate the situation:
------------------------ first, CONTAINER.HTM:
<script src=jquery.js></script>
$(function(){
var module = {
something1 : function(var1){
alert(var2);
}
}
});
<iframe src=iframe1.htm></iframe>
------------------------- now, IFRAME1.HTM
<script src=jquery.js></script>
$(function(){
$('#myDiv').click(function(){
top.frames[0].document.module.something1('hello');
// this line above is the part where I'm stuck.
//why won't this darn thing cooperate and alert my variable?
});
});
<div id=mydiv>click me</div>
