Re: document.location problem

[Gordon McComb <gmccomb@ix.netcom.com>]

It looks like you're trying to assing a link object to the location object.
Sometimes with JavaScript this kind of stuff isn't Kosher (and sometimes it
works without a peep.  I'm not using a Mac (I have Windows 95, so there!),
and I couldn't reproduce the crash with the code you provided.  I can't say
the following will do anything for the crash, but it might help (if it
doesn't let me know).  I added the .href to specifically pass a string to
the location object.

parent.frame2.location = parent.frame2.document.links[0].href
