I have (locally) a page with 2 frames. The top frame buttons or
select box when selected submits the bottom frame and a new
page is loaded in the bottom frame. This does not work under 
mozilla. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Basically the desription has it.

Expected Results:  lower frame to be submitted.

The command I use is:

parent.frames['dataframe'].document.forms[0].submit();

Could you attach the files to this bug using
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/createattachment.cgi?id=97443 ?

Are there any errors in the JS console when you do this?

There are no javascript in the console window.

Jerry, could you please attach a reduced testcase in this bug so that we can
reproduce and find the cause of this bug?
To do it, first attach the two frames to this bug, note their url, then attach
the frameset with the frame urls as frame src's. This will make our job much
easier, thanks!

Gents,

After further investigation I'm not sure it is a problem with Mozilla.
Items were defaulting and using layers[] which I now see is not 
supported under mozilla. Not part of W3c. So I will investigate further
how to change the code and create a new bug once I narrow down what is 
happening.

Please close this bug.
