Thanks for the suggestion, but I have no iFrame. After playing around a bit I discovered the element is not available until the HTML page is visible. I can now get the object reference to it, but can not change the innerText. I get an error tell me that "innerText" is not valid. It appears in the Intellisense list, but evaluates to undefined.

P.S. the 'contentWindow' reference may help. thanks.
