Tedd-
I understand how your code works. My application is slightly
different. My page looks like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Main </title>
</head>
<frameset frameborder=1 border=1 rows="140,*">
<frame src="mainheader.php>
<frameset frameborder=1 border=1 cols='75%,25%'>
<frame src="main.php" name="main">
<frame src="selection.php" name="selection">
</frameset>
</frameset>
</html>
>From within the selection frame I call your makeRequest function with
mainframes.php. I get back a complete new page. I got this to work by
doing this:
top.document.childNodes[0].innerHTML = response;
This works on FF, Chrome, and Safari, but on IE it fails with:
SCRIPT600: Could not set the innerHTML property. Invalid target
element for this operation. Still googling for a solution for that.
