[mapguide-users] Calling viewer api functions from the main page

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

If you install firebug, you can inspect the code, and examine the 
objects you are calling:
http://www.getfirebug.com/

Next step would be to look at "MapGuide Developers Guide" page 19:
http://mapguide.osgeo.org/2.0/documentation.html

You can see how the viewer frames are laid out, and see what 
"parent.parent" points to.
Page 18 describes what the frames are for and page 20-25 describe 
concrete cases.
