This is possible. Various browsers have various restrictions on what some

frames or windows can know about other frames or windows. In some of the

Netscape versions this varies by sub-version with the restrictions upon

Java in each sub-version.


(Background: Netscape uses LiveConnect for object intercommunication, and

LiveConnect uses Java. Different versions of Netscape browsers have

different permissions on how some Netscape objects can control other

Netscape objects.)


If you find that simple "alert" type functions work well in that browser,

but that commands which reach into other frames or windows do not, then

odds are strong that your scripting is fine, and that the browser won't let

Java reach into other frames.
