set innerHTML of an iframe

Question

In javascript, how can I set the innerHTML of an iframe? I mean: how to set, not get.

window[\"ifrm_name\"].document.innerHTML= \"

A really simple example ...

then the following Javascript is run, either inline, part of an event, etc ...

var s = document.getElementById('fred');
s.contentDocument.write("fred rules");

the "contentDocument" is the equivalent of the "document" you get in the main window, so you can make calls against this to set the body, head, any elements inside ... etc.

I've only tested this in IE8, Chrome and Firefox ... so you may want to test in IE6/7 if you have copies available.
