[Javascript] Object help

[javascript@xxxxxxxxxx (Rodney Myers)]

window.location.href="url"
works for me!

Since the selection of the new file is being done within the same frame
that you want to replace with another file that should about do it,
replacing "url" with a suitable string or string valued var.

There seems to be no need to be defining new Objects naming frames that
are or should be laready named in the HTML of the <frame > in the
frameset file. And .src is a property that I have never used for the
file content of a window. I hesitate to say categorically that it is
wrong but I have never seen it used before in such a context and there
are more accepted ways of doing it.
