Here is what I get, still no clue how to solve it. As I see it the 
javascript is valid, Safari has broken and I need to build a hack. Does 
this seem like a fair assessment?

alert( parent.toolbar.document );        - Undefined
alert( parent.toolbar );                 - Nothing Displays
alert( parent );                         - [Object Window]

alert( window.parent.toolbar.document ); - Undefined
alert( window.parent.toolbar );          - Nothing displays
alert( window.parent );                  - [Object Window]
alert( window );                         - [Object Window]

This is the HTML for the parent frame
<html>
<title>File Manager </title>
   <frameset rows="50,27,*" border="0" frameborder="0" border="0" 
framespacing="0">
    <frame SRC="toolbar.html" name="toolbar" scrolling="no" 
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
    <frame SRC="path.html" name="path" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" 
marginheight="0">
    <frameset cols="33%,67%"  frameborder="1" border="01" 
framespacing="4">
     <frame SRC="browse.html" name="browse" scrolling="yes" 
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
     <frame SRC="details.html" name="details" marginwidth="0" 
marginheight="0" scrolling="yes">
    </frameset>
   </frameset>
   <noframes>NO FRAMES</noframes>
</html>
