RegisterStartupScript doesn't work in a aspx page containing a frameset

[BillE]

I have an aspx page which contains a frameset.

I want to set the location.href of the frames dynamically using javascript
created in the Page_Load of the frameset using RegisterStartupScript, but
the registered script doesn't appear to run. Is there some reason why
RegisterStartupScript won't work in a aspx page containing a frameset?

When you view the html source of that frameset page as it was
received by the browser, do you see the javascript there?

Just a wild guess: will javascript work in a frameset page? (I expect
it does, but you never know ...)

Thank you for the response.

I know that javascript works in a frameset page.

The problem is that when I attempt to insert javascript using
RegisterStartupScript in a frameset page the javascript is not created.

I would also set the XHTML doctype to frameset, instead of
transitional. I believe you are supposed to do that when using frames.

Yes, that's correct.

Also, script language=javascript is deprecated syntax and not
XHTML-compliant - is this instead:

<script type="text/javascript">

or, even better, get ASP.NET to inject the script tags automatically:

I'll do that.

Apparently, however, RegisterStartupScript won't work in frameset pages
because there is no <formtag, according to the post from "marss".

Thanks!
