Javascript window object

Viewed 5345

In Javascript, let's say we have a main page (main.html) which contains an <iframe> (iframe.html)

Now inside this iframe.html, if we need to refer to something on the main page (main.html) , can we not just specify window instead of parent.window

If the answer is we need to write parent.window, I wanted to understand is there not a single window object reference for all the iframes within a main page..

While I do understand document is specific to individual iframes, but window should be common to all..Isn't it...Please help me in understanding the concept...

Also is there something window.parent as well ? If yes, how does it differ from parent.window ?
