Hi,

I need the following to work in netscape. Could anyone reply how to work on these ok things in IE to work with Netscape.

  • 1. document.Form1.display.value

  • 2. frame2.style.visibility = “hidden”;

  • 3. parent.framea.handletoolclick();

  • 4. parent.framec.document.location.href = “string”

    • I appreciate your immediate help.

    Regards,
    Jay

  • 1. Which version of Netscape?

  • 2. I doubt that one of your code line works, even in IE:

    [COLOR=Green]parent.framec.document.location.href = "string"[/COLOR]

  • - [B]location[/B] is a property of the [B]window[/B] object, not of the [B]document[/B] object

  • - "string"? what is "string"?


    • What in fact does not work?

    Infact all of them work in IE 6. I want them work in Netscape 6.

    string is the document reference for the href.

    @jayNambaruauthorSep 07.2006 — Hi,

    How to access parent.frameX.FormY in Netscape?.

    I have the following function working fine in IE 6. I need it in NN6

    function syncToc()

    {

    var tocForm = parent.frameX.TocForm;

    if(tocForm != null)
    {
    parent.frameX.document.location.href = "Toc.aspx";
    }

    }


    Regards,

    Jay

    Once again: [B]location[/B] is a property of the [B]window[/B] object, not of the [B]document[/B]

    parent.frames['frameX'].window.location.href = "Toc.aspx";
    ×

    Success!
