Framesets in Firefox

[dickey38]

I have javascript code related to a Frameset that works fine in IE but not in Firefox.Frameset Code: var wstg wstg = '<frameset rows="50px,*"> ' + ' <frame noresize="noresize" frameborder=0 id="sitehead" src="UGhead.htm" >' + ' <frameset cols="158px,*">' + ' <frame noresize="noresize" style= "border-right-width:thick; border-right-color:Maroon;" id="contents" src="UGnav.htm" />' + ' <frameset rows="30px,*">' + ' <frame frameborder=0 id="mainhd" marginheight="3" marginwidth="8" src= "Helphead.htm" />' + ' <frame frameborder=0 id="main" src= "HelpContent.htm" />' + ' </frameset>'self.document.write(wstg)In JS functions I use code like: function loadhupd() { top.main.location.href = "AAHelpUpd.htm"; top.mainhd.location.href = "HelpUpdHead.htm"; }Works fine in IE, but Firefox claims that top.main is not defined. Apparantly the id="main" specified with the frame in the frameset isn't sufficient to define "main".Thanks for help.

Try using the name attribute instead of the id attribute. This is very old syntax and predates the existence of id's.

What is the preferred javascript syntax for loading a document into a frame?Thanks.

Using name attribute does work. Thanks!
