location.href doesn't seem to work

Folks,
I wrote a simple javascript script, but it doesn't work.
First I have a web page that uses frames:
=============== ======
<html>
<frameset rows="10%,90%">
<frame src="frame1.htm " name="frameName 1">
<frame src="frame2.htm " name="frameName 2">
</frameset>
</html>
=============== ======
Then within the page 'frame1', I try to have a function that fills page
'frame2'. The function is:
<script LANGUAGE="JAVAS CRIPT">
function ShowSeminars()
{
/*parent.framena me2.location.hr ef = "http://www.amazon.com" ;*/
parent.framenam e2.location.hre f = "frame3.htm ";

}
</script>
I have a button that calls the function.
But the function does not work. First I thought the reason was that it
links to outside websites, but the code doesn't even work when it links
to 'frame3.htm' (a local page).

I tried 'firefox's javascript console to tell me whats wrong, and it
says something like 'parent.framena me2' has no properties.
Thanks,
Marvin

Javascript is case-sensitive.
FrameName2 != framename2

Try
parent.frameNam e2.location.hre f = "frame3.htm ";

You should add this doctype declaration:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">

<html>
<head><title>Sh owing seminars</title>
<frameset rows="10%,90%">
<frame src="frame1.htm " name="frameName 1">
<frame src="frame2.htm " name="frameName 2">
</frameset>
</html>

'frame2'. The function is:
<script LANGUAGE="JAVAS CRIPT">
<script type="text/javascript">

Language is deprecated while type is both backward and forward-compatible.
function ShowSeminars()
{
/*parent.framena me2.location.hr ef = "http://www.amazon.com" ;*/
parent.framenam e2.location.hre f = "frame3.htm ";
parent.frames["frameName2 "].location.href = "frame3.htm ";

That means firefox does not "see" "parent.framena me2" as edited. The
name is frameName2, not framename2.

Hi all, I wrote this a while back, but I was unable to get it to work for mozilla. Looked all over the place, but could not find anything on why.

This works great on IE and Opera, but it will not work in Mozilla. My
