It wont't work with Win IE 3 also and will create an error as well.

A bettet solution is an invisible frame and use a getURL to load a page

with the javascript code on it:


main.document.forms[0].submit()

Where main is the form's frame name which is set on the frameset page.

This should work for all Flash compatible browsers.
