Reassigning to Warren.

A little more explanation here than just a tag might help. What happens, and 
what should happen?

Cc'ing valeski who might be able to help here.
In the case that a frameset calls index.html from a child frame it
should replace the entire window when

meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="3; URL=homeframes.html; TARGET=_top"

is executed. What's happing now is that the address line parser is
including the semi-colon and the TARGET=_top as part of the URL. This is
valid HTML code "As Far As I Know" and works as coded and reliably on
NS3,4 and IE 4 & 5.


Thanks for the explanation. It sounds like this is a parser bug, and not a 
meta-refresh bug. Assigning to harishd.

probabablly mine.

cc'ing harishd. I'll fix the url creation to exclude everythign after the url 
semi-colon, but I think default behavior will be to always load from the top. 
I'm not sure how the parser would extract the TARGET.
