Hi Michael,

you might try to map the jQuery functions:

e.g. the normal frame where you load jquery.js is called 'jquery_loader'

in another frame you can call jquery functions like this (untested, the 
referencing of the document, wher jquery lives is surely wrong ;-)):

if (typeof window.frames['jquery_loader'].window.jQuery != 'undefined') {
  var imported_$ = window.frames['jquery_loader'].window.jQuery;
  alert(imported_$);
} else {
  alert('this seems to be a wrong reference...');
}

you can then do something like this:

var my_links = imported_$('div.test a').find('span').each(function(i) {
  alert(this.href);
});


Good luck....
