Gossamer Forum: General: Internet Technologies: Stupid javascript problems :(

Hi,

Got a really annoying problem :/

I use 2 different types of framesets;

1)

Code:
--------------------- 
|                        | <---------- TOPMAIN 
--------------------- 
|                        | 
|                        | <---------- MAIN 
|                        | 
---------------------

Then, inside MAIN, I have;

Code:
 BROWSERSIDE 
 # 
 # 
 # 
 | 
--------------------- 
|     |                  | 
|     |                  | <---------- BROWSERMAIN 
|     |                  | 
---------------------

When using ONLY the above frameset, then this works fine;

Code:
                   var ContentUrl = top.frames['BROWSERMAIN'].location;

However, if loading the first frameset first, and then the above INSIDE "MAIN", I can use this fine;

Code:
                   var ContentUrl = top.frames['MAIN'].frames['BROWSERMAIN'].location;

However, when I put this in, and then try accessing it via just the BROWSERSIDE and BROWSERMAIN frameset, I get an error saying;

Quote:

Error: top.frames.BROWSERMAIN has no properties
Source File: http://www.domain.co.uk/editors/pages/tree/menu_ACULEGAL_0.467601555007608.js
Line: 4

I guess what I really need, is a way to figure out if they are accessing it from the main frameset, or just loading it themselves.

So again, just to clarify...

..this works when in a double frameset (i.e a frame inside the main frame);

Code:
                   var ContentUrl = top.frames['MAIN'].frames['BROWSERMAIN'].location;

.. but this doesn't (although it works fine if loading it in a single frameset);

Code:
                   var ContentUrl = top.frames['BROWSERMAIN'].location;

I've been banging my head over this for days and days... so *any* suggestions/ideas are much appreciated :)
