compatability issue

[Phillip Parr]

This is a repost, as no one could/decided to help me, and it's still a
problem I have!

I'm having a little problem which is bound to be simple to solve but I just
can't find the answer.

I have a file containing...

<iframe name="submitWindow" src="dochat.php"></iframe>
<iframe name="refreshWindow" src="chatupdate.php"></iframe>

and a section from the dochat.php file...

parent.document.refreshWindow.location.reload();
So basically, the structure is i'm using a page in an iframe to reload a
page in another iframe which both have the same parent. This code works fine
in MSIE but I get the following error in netscape:

Error: parent.document.refreshWindow has no properties
Source File: dochat.php
Line: 9

If anyone can tell me what I need to do to make it work in netscape I'd be
very happy!

Thanks in advance :)

Use
if (parent.frames && parent.frames.refreshWindow) {
parent.frames.refreshWindow.location.reload();
}
that should work in both browsers, frames are accessible via the frames
collection.
