Safari: targeting frames with a javascript event does not work.

11-24-2003

The following code will work in Mac IE 5.1, but not in Safari 1.0
(v85). Anyone have any hints?


<html>
<body>

<a href="text2.html" target="frameContent"
onMouseDown="alert('Hi.');">Put text2.html in frameContent</a>

<iframe width="200" height="200" src="text.html" frameborder="yes"
scrolling="yes" name="frameContent">

</body>
</html>

Thanks. That was clumsy of me to not include the closing iframe tag. I
also corrected any other errors that the validator caught. However, I
am still unable to get Safari to put 'text2.html' into the
'frameContent' target. Anyone else have solutions?
