    pic and text to iframe, works in IE but not Netscape

    I have code that works in IE but not Netscape 7+. This code allows me
    to have a list of links that bring up an image and description in an
    iframe. This works great in IE, however I have users that are
    Netscape users.


    main page:

    var links=new Array();

    links[2]=new Array("picture2 .jpg","Pic 2 link title","Pic 2 image
    title");
    links[1]=new Array("picture1 .jpg","Pic 1 link title","Pic 1 image
    title");

    function showImg(aNum)
    {
    document.IFRAME NAME.setup(link s[aNum]);
    }

    // and so on ...

    for (var i=links.length-1;i>=0;i--)
    {
    document.write( '<a href="#" onclick=showImg ("'+i+'")>' + links[i][1] +
    '</a><br>');
    }





    the iframe file:


    <script>
    function setup(aLink)
    {
    document.getEle mentById("pic") .src=aLink[0];
    document.getEle mentById("title ").innerHTML=aL ink[2];

    }
    </script>
    <body>
    <p id="title"></p>
    <img src="" id="pic">
    </body>

      Stop using IE-shortcut-code and it will work in NS7+:

      document.frames['IFRAMENAME'].setup(.......) ;

          Thank you for your help.

          I changed
          document.extern al.setup(links[aNum]);

          with
          document.frames['external'].setup(links[aNum]);

          and neither browser worked. If you have time, please tell me what I
          am missing.

              My bad. Change it to window.frames instead of document.frames .

              In blank.html:
              window.frames['iFrameName'].myFunction('It works');

              In blank2.html:

              function myFunction(aler tMessage){
              alert(alertMess age)
              }

              And it now works in IE6, Opera 7, NS7, Mozilla1.4

                  Re: pic and text to iframe, works in IE but not Netscape

                  It now works for Netscape, but not IE. I do not have enough beer in
                  the house for this, lol.


                  --------------------------------
                  Here is the code in my test1.html file.


                  <script language="javas cript" type="text/javascript">

                  var links=new Array();
                  links[2]=new Array("picture2 .jpg","Pic 2 link title","Pic 2 image
                  title");
                  links[1]=new Array("picture1 .jpg","Pic 1 link title","Pic 1 image
                  title");

                  function showImg(aNum)
                  {
                  window.frames['external'].setup(links[aNum]);
                  }

                  for (var i=links.length-1;i>=0;i--)
                  {
                  document.write( '<a href="#" onclick=showImg ("'+i+'")>' + links[i][1] +
                  '</a><br>');
                  }

                  </script>

                  <iframe name="external" id="external"
                  style="width:10 0%;height:500px " src="picture.ht ml"></iframe>

                  </body>
                  </html>


                  --------------------------------
                  Here is the code for my iframe file (picture.html)

                  <script language="javas cript">
                  function setup(aLink)
                  {
                  document.getEle mentById("pic") .src=aLink[0];
                  document.getEle mentById("title ").innerHTML=aL ink[2];
                  }
                  </script>

                  <center>
                  <img src="pic3.jpg" id="pic">
                  <p id="title">Tex t for default picture</p>
                  </center>

                  --------------------------------
                  My goal is to have links on a page that will update the iframe with
                  the image and text from the script. The errors I get from IE 6 are:

                  Error #1 - When it first loads I get
                  Error: 'links[...].1' is null or not an object

                  Error #2 - When I click on a link I get
                  Object doesn't support this property or method

                  I used the following line previous and it worked for IE but not for
                  Netscape, however Error #1 was still there in IE.

                  document.extern al.setup(links[aNum]);
                  in place of
                  window.frames['external'].setup(links[aNum]);
