    Using parent's function from child when included from file...

    Hi!

    I am working on a rather complicated set of html and javascript files here
    and am experiencing some serious IE/Netscape(Mozill a actually)
    incompatability issues.

    I have an html page that includes a hidden IFRAME (size 0x0). That IFRAME
    get's reloaded and calls the parent's write_table function. This is to
    ensure the illusion that the page is not refreshing (my boss didn't like the
    "blinking" of the refresh).

    This worked well, untill I moved the parent's javascript into seperate files
    and included them with the <SCRIPT language="javas cript"
    src="table_writ er.js"></SCRIPT> tag. Now, it only works on
    Mozilla/Netscape. For IE, I get the oh-so-general "Object doesn't support
    this property or method" error.

    I really need to leave the javascript in seperate files as I will have a
    need for them on many pages in the future. How can I get the IFRAME
    javascript function to call it's parent javascript function when the
    parent's script is loaded from a file???

    Thanks!

      I've made a discovery...

      Since we are using a home made web server (again, please don't ask), it
      appears that IE is not loading the js files at all because there is a very
      limited number of mime types supported. I am assuming that mozilla figured
      this out on it's own but IE won't.

      I'll see if I can fix the webserver, sorry for the wasted space.
