Is it possible to swap data on an HTML page that has two frames with pages residing on different servers?

I know there is some security measure on this, but I wonder if there are ways around it or some alternative way to capture data from one page in one frame and send it to the other page residing in the other frame.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to do this?
Do you have access to both servers? If yes , the first link also gives a limited workaround.

thanks Satish,

I read the article, but I don't see a way around my problem. I was hoping there was a way around it, but looks like no dice.

It is a bit much to explain, but basicly, one page has information, then the other frame would load another page to submit a payment.

Both pages have shared data that I was hoping to pass back and forth to eliminate double typing of same information.

It wouldn't be possible to have both pages on the same domain.

I have a few other ideas to try, but I thank you for your reply.
