Import dashboard.js in addsite.html, and then call it's loadfile() method.
For example:
<script src="dashboard.js"></script>
<script src="addsite.js"></script>
<!-- ... more markup ... -->
Now, in addsite.js, you can access dashboard.js' functions.

i cant..because the `loadfile()` is used to load a file into the parent document's div. so icant do that from iframe. – Ninoop p george Nov 13 '15 at 07:07

Why are you using `iframes` anyway? It's a bad practice. You want an `iframe` to modify its parent's div? – weirdpanda Nov 13 '15 at 07:11

That is impossible. It's like saying that you want to modify Google's homepage from Facebook's URL. – weirdpanda Nov 13 '15 at 07:13
