More fun with frames...

Having just upgraded from 3.3.19 where this stuff worked...

I'm using only two frames - top and bottom.

I updated my menu arrays, adding the sourceframe to the target frame.

Now, after selecting a menu item and loading a new page, the menus become disabled when the new page loads. All of my pages have had the correct script statements in the body, so this has not changed.

The lower frame menu array has the "menunum=0;menus=new Array();, etc." commented out as per instructions.

So I cannot figure out why the menus will no longer load in the lower frame.

I note also that in the latest frames demo, the above statement is NOT commented out in either array, although the instructions within the script still say to do so.

Anyone else running into this?

menu dies with quick mouseover before new frame loads

I have the same problem. Have you figured this one out? The menu becomes disabled if I mouse over it while a page is loading in the new frame. Otherwise it's fine, but I can't expect users to put up with this.

Yes. I left in the statement in the lower frame array despite the docs and it is working. I also reentered that array, taking particular care with the delimiters and removing the 'targetframe' arguments until I was sure that the rest of the lot was fully functional. Then I put them in selectively. Seems to open within the same frame by default anyway, so don't use that arg unless you have to.
