Hi,

I want to build a simple frame.
The following code works fine on IE6 and IE7 but doesn't work on Safari 3.0.4.
It showed me this error message on Safari 3.0.4.
"TypeError: Value undefined (result of expression top.frames["toolbar"].doSomething2) is not object."
Why?

Plz help
Thx
Joe

It appears that Safari 3.0.4 does not like "toolbar" as the name of a frame. It also doesn't like "statusbar" or "bookmarksbar". If you can, rename your frame to something else. It's not clear if this is a bug or a feature.
