The bottom frame in this page does not load.  Seems to be a DOM problem.

Works for me. There is script on the page and it's doing the right thing (except
for the fact that Image constructors still don't preload images).

This page still causes problems for me.  Here is a simple test case which
illustrates the bug:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
	<script>
	document.write(parent.location);
	</script>
</body>
</html>

With my build of nglayout, this page displays "[object location]" instead of the
page's URL.    This affects the following script in the www.village.com.au page:

                <script>
                        // Written by Phil and Symonty. Copyright Village
Roadshow, 1998
                        // 18/2/1998
                        //
                        // JavaScript to generate ad frames. Allows for nested
frames too :)
                        var middleFound = 0;
                        var i;
                        // Is there a frame called middle?
                        for (i = 0; i < top.frames.length; i++)

                                if (top.frames[i].name == "middle")
                                {
                                        middleFound = 1;
                                        break;
                                }
                        // Load the pages into the frameset
                        if (!middleFound)
                        {

top.location="http://www.village.com.au/cgi-bin/fp_frame.cgi?"+parent.location;
                        }
                        else
                        {

top.window.vil_banners.location="http://www.village.com.au/bannerdocs/fp_village
ad.htm";
                        }
                </script>

Yup, you're right. I probably pasted the generated URL from Navigator while I
was debugging this.
