| How do I determine where the focus is (the directory level)? To make sure
| that I don't make any *level* mistakes, all the pages, menus, etc. are
| exactly two levels deep, so no matter where the focus is, I can go back to
| root by doing ../..
|
| I know that I have no incorrect names (I id a directory dump and copied and
| pasted and checked and double checked). I can get one menu to load properly
| by doing it through the Picture Properties, Hyperlink and then browsing to
| the page containing the secondary menu, and then I set the proper target
| frame there as well). This loads it in the right place. But then, if I copy
| it, and paste it into a javascript statement as follows:
|
| javascript
arent.frames.SecNav.location='SecNav_Home_SituationalAnalysis.htm'
|
| I get the same error message (and the browser tries to open it in a new
| window. I was under the impression that by using "parent", I'm in the root,
| then frames takes me to the frames context, and then SecNav sets the target
| frame as SecNav, and location tells it the page name. I'm puzzled.
