problems with a script in FF

tinyhunter · May 23, 2007

Maybe I am just blind. The following http://cresslawnprimary.co.za/news.html
works in IE and Opera fine. I can change via the pull down the news
and it works. But in FireFox it just does not work and the error I see
in Firebug is:

parent.frames.XYZ1 has no properties
http://cresslawnprimary.co.za/drop.html?
Line 7

the code looks as follows:

function gotourl( mySelect ) {
myIndex = mySelect.selectedIndex;
myValue = mySelect.options[myIndex].value;
parent.frames.XYZ1.location=myValue;
}

function gotour2(Ref1) {

myElem=document.getElementById("SelBox1");
myElem.selectedIndex = Ref1 ;
myValue = myElem.options[Ref1].value;
parent.frames.XYZ1.location=myValue;

}

</script>

<title></title>
</head>

The reference to parent.frames.XYZ1 is invalid, because a) you are not
working in frames, and b) you didn't give the document the name XYZ1.

there was one more file to go with it:

news.html

<html>
<head>
<Title>Cresslawn Primary Newsletters</Title>
</head>
<frameset rows=130,30,*>
<frame frameborder=10 src="head.html?" </frame>
<frame marginheight=0 frameborder=0 src="drop.html?" </frame>
<frame id="XYZ1" marginheight=0 frameborder=0 src="NewsLetters/17 May
2007.html"
</frame>
</frameset>
</html>

what realy cobfuses me is the fact it runs in Opera and IE..

Change ``<frame id="XYZ1" '' into ``<frame name="XYZ1" ''; Both Opera and IE
probably use the id in absence of a name attribute.
