As a quick bypass, check the browser type in your java script. if the =
visitor is using a MS IE browser do your weird stuff, else just do =
normal stuff for netscape browsers...
Hope this helps

Subject: Frame targeting HELP please!!!
Please, tell me that there is a problem with IE 3.01! I've created a =
page at http://downtown.pathcom.com/~bmynarsk/ShareLife (it's still in =
the works) that's using three layer frames and Java script for =
targeting. The problem is that IE does not update frames properly. =
Netscape does everything O.K. This is what happens. Let's say I have =
frames 1, 2, and 3. Using Java script I want to update frames 1 & 2 =
from frame 3. It's quite simple. The fun begins when some of my files =
are buried in a lower subdirectory of the main directory. E.G., =
relative targeting such as directory/file.html is quite acceptable by =
Netscape. IE, however, chokes big time. It wants me to put =
../directory/file.html which at this point is not true because Netscape =
reads it as /root/file.html, thus missing /root/directory/file.html all =
together. The only solution I can think of at this point is to use an =
absolute targeting like, e.g. =
http://www.mypage.com/directory/myfile.html to avoid it the problem of =
Netscape not being compatible with IE. However, this creates a headache =
or a nightmare rather in terms of debugging my pages because I have to =
be on line. Does anyone know of a better work around, PLEASE????
