[Bug 282588] Re: window.parent.frames[1].trainNews.disabled=true FAILS in Javascript WHERE trainNews is linked CSS file DISABLED flagged in Moz doc as MS origin WORKS in IE NOT MOZILLA Documentation in latter does not suggest this

[mikb]

disabled (originally presumed to be non-functional as Microsoft
definition) is functional in Mozilla

Apparently window.parent.frames[n] addressing is the problem
syntactically in Mozilla.

disabled used directly functions correctly.  Not when addressed using
standard syntax from another frame.  WHY?

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
  CODE:
  
    window.parent.frames[1].trainNews.disabled=true
  
- Above code in linked Javascript source file (IN frames[1] head)
+ Above code in linked Javascript source file (IN frames[1] document head)
  
  Addressing (trainNews) linked CSS file (IN frames[1] head) to allow
  toggling to different CSS file, also in header (already disabled =true
  ... next line switches latter to false)
  
  Mozilla documentation mentions "disabled" was Microsoft initially but
  also shows it is now part of HTML 4.0
  
- Why does Mozilla fail to implement this?
+ Why does Mozilla apparently fail to implement this?
  
  I've been returning to this for days and its definitely Mozilla.  My xp
  box with IE has no problems with the code.
  
- Please advise as I aim for functionality across platforms
+ It seems after trial and error that Mozilla is just not responding to
+ the correct location syntax i.e.
+ 
+ window.parent.frames[0].  windows.parent.frames[1]. etc.  When an
+ arbitrary button is inserted in one of the frames[1] documents the CSS
+ link disabled values are applied correctly without frame[n] being used.
+ 
+ Pretty odd as IE functions with addressing from window.parent.frames[0]
+ using window.parent.frames[1] syntax perfectly correctly.  What syntax
+ is correct in Mozilla or do the multiple documents loaded into frames[1]
+ need a specific header?
+ 
+ Please advise as I am aiming for functionality across platforms.
