Changing frame location to PDF document

[improvcornartist]

Can someone guide me in updating a frame location with new pdf documents? The frame originally loads with a pdf. I need to be able to display a new pdf based on user selections in another frame. I am currently using document.framename.location=url, but that is causing Firefox to crash or freeze. I can post an example if you need to see full code. If it matters, the pdf files are on a document server, not a web server.

Does it crash/freeze every time? Have you tried another browser?

Perhaps you can use the window.frames syntax instead to reference a frame.

IE and Chrome both work as expected. FF and Opera are both crashing every time. Thanks for the idea, I tried window.frames, but still crashes.

Hello! I am experiencing this exact issue and cannot find any methods that resolve it. Did you determine an approach that did not cause FF to crash? Much thanks...

I did some more testing and found that this broke with FF 3.6.2 (and is still broken in 3.6.3), but worked fine with FF 3.5.9. Since it also works fine in IE and Chrome, my best guess is FF broke. Other than waiting for a FF update, I don't have a solution.

Thanks very much, that is good to know. I will continue to look too and let you know if I determine anything that might work with 3.6.2 and 3.6.3. Also maybe 3.6.4 or greater (when they come out) will just resolve the problem, which would be nice!

This seems to work now in Firefox 3.6.15.
