ppk,

: No, not really. I did some testing (see
: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/hreftest/frametesting.html
: for the pages) and found that
:
: 1) IE 5.5 supports parent.framename.location fine
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

good to know.

:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: 2) IE 5.0 does NOT support location = 'newpage.html'
:    or location.href = 'newpage.html' !!!
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

garbage.  ie5.0 supports both just fine.  in your example you have four
links.  the first two (which load a new document into the bottom frame
"down") work just fine in ie5.0.  the bottom two (which load a new document
into the top frame "up") do not work at all.  however, that's not the fault
of the browser.  they don't work because the href attribute contains a hash
which gets executed after the onclick, overriding the request to change
document location.  try adding a return false to your onclick event handlers
and you'll see all four links work as expected.

thanks,
