Hi friends am Yogesh Nandane..Developing a small accessibility evaluation tool

There is one startframe() function which evaluates the frame accessibility errors.

I want to apply this startframe function to the frame content. by pointing the mouse pointer on the submitt button the website is get open in the frame then how do i call this startframe function into the frame so that it can evaluate the website errors which recentaly open in frame? the sample code is as below

<html>
    <head><title>Demo</title>
<script type="text/javascript">

function test() {

iframe = document.getElementById('i');
iframe.src = 'http://www.google.com';

}

function test2() {

iframe = document.getElementById('i');
iframe.src = 'http://www.webdeveloper.com';

}

function test3()
{
    iframe = document.getElementById('i');
iframe.src =startFrames()


}

This function I  want to call

function startFrames(){

    //Instead of window. for global
    //        we use aA. so that we don't have
    //        variables that might get mixed in
    //        with site-level js

    //aA holds all variable that are global
    //        throughout frames

    //STANDARD ACROSS FAVELETS
    var aA=new Array();

    //VAR SPECIFIC TO THIS FAVELET
         aA.f=0; //num frames
         aA.ff=0; //num iframes

         aA.ef=0; //num frames with errors
         aA.eff=0; //num iframes with errors

         aA.tiny=0; //num tiny frames
    //        to save html nodes for
    //        printing to results page

         aA.infoTree=document.createElement('div');


    //VAR STANDARD ACROSS FAVELETS
    //        for id of added spans
    //        so we can removed them
         aA.idi=0;

    //        for frames outside domain
    //        so we can report them
         aA.framemsg='';
         aA.fi=0;

    //STANDARD ACROSS FAVELETS & Recursive:
    //        checkFrames calls function that checks the page.
    //        Then, it calls itself for each doc in a frame
    //        It returns aA with all the aA.variables counted up
         aA = checkFramesFrames(document,aA,aA.infoTree);

   //STANDARD - reporting once done recursing through frames
         provideMessageFrames(aA);

   //OPEN PAGE OF RESULTS
         if (aA.f + aA.ff > 0) {
              resultsPage(aA);
         };
}

function checkFramesFrames(myDocument,aA,placeToAddTo){
    //function with all the specific detail, just to keep it separate
    //        it returns aA with new values after using it to count

    //run check for each frame's document if there
    //        are any frames


       //create object just to check length of the properties array
       var jt_generic_obj = myDocument.createElement("var");
       var jt_ie7 = false;

           jt_ie7 = true;
       }


    var frametypes=new Array('frame','iframe');
    for (var g=0;g<frametypes.length;g++) {

        //for each tag
        var myframes=myDocument.getElementsByTagName(frametypes[g]);


        for (var h=0;h<myframes.length;h++) {

        //for each frame

          //count the frames


            var t = myframes[h];

            if (frametypes[g]=='frame') {
                 aA.f++;
            }
            if (frametypes[g]=='iframe') {
                 aA.ff++;

                 //outline frame & resize frame if needed

                 var toadd=0;
                 if (t.width<72) {
