[Javascript] Netscape fails when calling document.frames from within a FRAME

Wed May 23 21:56:52 CDT 2001

	document.frames, or document.layers?  As far as I know, there is no
document.frames, but you're making a reference to the layers collection in
your script.

|Hey all,
|	I have an interesting problem:
|
|	Apparently, if you make a call to document.frames
|from within a FRAME, it ends that parsing of the javascript
|then and there, with no error message.
|
|	What's interesting is that if the FRAMESET is loaded
|already, and the content of a frame is updated, this works fine.
|
|	I've attached files that demonstrate this below and on
|the URLs.
|
|	Any help in getting document.frames to work correctly
|the first time would be MOST appreciated.
|
|	Thoughts?
|
|		Thanks!

|I've also put these files at:
|  http://www.meconomy.com/ft/frametest.html
|  http://www.meconomy.com/ft/foo.html
|  http://www.meconomy.com/ft/foo2.html
|  http://www.meconomy.com/ft/test.js
|
|
|*** I have the file "frameset.html":
|
|<html><head><title>FrameSet Test</title>
|<FRAMESET cols="*,250">
|  <FRAME src="foo.html">
|  <FRAME src="foo.html">
|</FRAMESET>
|<body></body></html>
|
|
|*** Where "foo.html" is:
|
|<html><head><title>foo</title>
|<body>
|<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="test.js"></script>
|  If this is in a Frame, you won't see the alert box!
|  <br><br>
|  However, if you <A href="foo2.html">click here</a>, to
|  change the content of this frame to something nearly
|  identical, you will see an alert box....
|</body></html>
|
|
|*** "foo2.html" is:
|
|<html><head><title>foo</title>
|<body>
|<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="test.js"></script>
|  This is Foo2 -- you'll see the pop-up!
|</body></html>
|
|
|*** And "test.js" is:
|
|var isNetscape  = document.layers;
|
|alert("This Doesn't Display on Netscape!");
