JS in HTML Frameset

P

Phrogz

I have a website with code like the following. I swear it used to work
2 years ago when first written. However, testing in both IE6SP2 and
Firefox 1.5 no longer seem to run the script at the top level of the
frameet.

Is there a way to run JS at the frameset level? (I want to us JS to
parse some querystrings passed to the frameset, and use those to pass
on to one child frame and change the href of the other child frame.)

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Testing</title>
</head>
<frameset cols="220,*">
<frame src="t1.html" name="f1" id="f1">
<frame src="t2.html" name="f2" id="f2">
</frameset>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert( 'Yay!' );
</script>
</html>

</script>
</html>

Nevermind, I validated my HTML (which I should have done before) and
see that script isn't legal there. I've changed it to:
<html><head>
....
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function(){
....
}
</script></head><frameset>
....
</frameset></html>

And all is working as intended. Sorry for the noise.
