There is no need for a workaround; referring to object in other frames
works using the same code as IE.

className doesn't work in NN and there is no workaround for that.

OK, maybe that was a bad example. Here's the declaration of the thing I want
to modify

<A ID=next HREF="gallery2p.htm" target="picture"> <img
src="pictures/next.gif" align="right"> </A>

And here's trying to modify it from another frame

 parent.frames["bottom"].next.href = "gallery2p.htm";

NN says "parent.frames.bottom.next has no properties."

This menas that the object can't be found, and can be solved by using
name= instead of id= (Damn you, IE!! (Happy now Netscape lovers?))

The bin.

Sorry, too late at night, that one. Use 
parent.frames["bottom"].document.next.href
                        ^^^^^^^^

parent.frames["bottom"].document.links[i].href where i is a zero-based
index referring to the (i+1)th link in the document.  In other words,
the first link is 0, the second link is 1, ...

You can't use a NAME attribute because then your link would not
necessarily be a link anymore -- it would be an anchor -- and the ID
attribute isn't recognized in released version of NN.

BTW, this problem is not related to frames.
