Re: Script commands / defaultFrame / WMP10 / Firefox

Wayne, use framesets.

<FRAMESET cols="" rows="*,21" border=0 frameborder=no framespacing=0
noresize >
<FRAMESET cols="*,254" rows="" border=0 frameborder=no framespacing=0
noresize >
<FRAMESET cols="" rows="54, *,79" border=0 frameborder=no framespacing=0
noresize >
<FRAME name="logo" src="logo.asp?param=a" scrolling=no noresize
marginheight=0 marginwidth=0>
<FRAME name="player" src="player.asp?param=b" scrolling=no noresize
marginheight=0 marginwidth=0>
<FRAME name="ad" src="ad.asp?param=c&foo=d" scrolling=no noresize
marginheight=0 marginwidth=0>
</FRAMESET>
<frameset rows="54,42,*" border=0 frameborder=no framespacing=0 noresize>
<frame name="selector" src="selector.asp" scrolling=no noresize
marginheight=0 marginwidth=0>
<frame name="title" src="title.asp" scrolling=no noresize marginheight=0
marginwidth=0>
<frame name="list" src="list.asp" scrolling=auto noresize marginheight=0
marginwidth=0>
</frameset>
</FRAMESET>
<frame name="nav" src="nav.asp" border=0 frameborder=no scrolling=no
noresize marginheight=0 marginwidth=0>
</FRAMESET>

This works for me in both IE, Firefox, Mozilla, and Netscape. If you need to
change those sources once the page is loaded, use the javascript I posted
earlier.

Thanks,
Bill
