Hmmnn Possibly, I was more looking for a way without having to track the 
elements myself as the widget already seems to do it, I don't want to 
access all the elements just the one on the top hence my trying to use 
page()==>
self.notebook=Pmw.Notebook(root,raisecommand=link)
def link(self,active):
	frame=self.notebook.page(active)
	......
then get the child element from that but yes I could pop them all into a 
dictionary and access them that way I was just looking for an easier 
(more elegant???) way.

grats for the help
