Javascript "top" object no longer valid when a sub-frame refreshes (In

[d2army]

Hi there!

I have this interesting problem that only happens with Internet Explorer Mobile on the Pocket PC( Mobile 5.0) and not on desktop IE.

I have a web page ( let's call it top.htm ) that contains two frames( one.htm and two.htm)

two.htm would redirect to another page at a specific time.

But what I just uncovered is that when two.htm redirects to another page(within its own frame), the Javascript within it can no longer access the "top" or "parent" object. They will show up as undefined which is weird. The same issue goes for frame one.htm

This is how I defined the two frames in top.htm :

<frameset rows="500,40">
<frame src="one.htm" allowtransparency=true marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 noresize scrolling=no frameborder=no name="one" id="one">
<frame src="two.htm" allowtransparency=true marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 noresize scrolling=no frameborder=no name="two" id="two"></frameset>

This is how I do the refreshing within the frame:

top.frames['one'].location.href = "somewhere.htm" ;

I have even tried these as well to no avail :

(1) top.frames['one'].navigate("somewhere.htm") ;

(2) self.location = "somewhere.htm" ;

Can someone please shed some light on this? If you need more details on the problem I can gladly provide them.

THANKS!

Is the new file loaded into frame "two" on the same domain as the original file? If not, that's your problem.

Hope this helps,

If the mobile ie does not include rpc module (actxprxy.dll), those cross-window communication might not be supported.
