Hey andrew, you might want to try using -

window.body.location.href

where body is the name of your frame. Later versions of JavaScript can
reference frames in framesets without it, but you might have problems
leaving it off in older browsers. Give that a try and let me know what
happens.

Also, if that fails to work, you might want to try using the
frames array in JavaScript. All frames are stored in an array, which can
be referenced like this

window.frames[0].location.href

which will reference the first frame (arrays count from zero) in
a frameset, while

window.frames[1].location.href will reference the second one. I'm
not sure if body is the first, second, or third frame in your document,
soyou might have to experiment.

Good luck, and I hope this helps.

Jason
