: Can anybody tell me why the following
: snippet of javascript (which works with
: NN 2-6, Mozilla, and IE 3-5) won't work
: with IE 5.5?
:
: parent.framename.location = "/dir/page.html";
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

probably cause you're not referencing it correctly.  if you want the browser
to initiate a page change, then you need to change the href property of the
location object.

parent.framename.location.href = '/dir/page.html';

alot of browsers are forgiving about this -- i'm guessing ie5.5 is not.
