Getting a object from inside an <object> tag in javascript

Question

I have an HTML code with the following:

<object class="sis" id="sis1" type="text/html" data="sis/sis1.html"></object>

and in the imported file I have and <h2> I am trying to manipulate with JS, but I can figure out a way to select the element.

I've even tried: document.getElementById("sis1").getElementById("h2_id") but -> Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLObjectElement> has no method 'getElementById'

I have..but seems like JS does not see the ids inside the <object> when trying that. Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'attr' of null — Victor
