cooljstree in two frames

[tylerp]

Hi,

I'm evaluating cooljstree. I have a frameset with a tree defined in one frame and content in another. When I load the frameset, I use the content page to select an item in the tree in the other frame.

In Firefox this works just fine. However, in IE I (intermittently) get an error saying that the variable (the tree) is not defined. I think this is because the frames are being loaded asynchronously.

I tried using parent.tree.document.readyState, and this works fine in IE. However, it doesn't work for Firefox, and I want to be cross-platform.

Does anyone know how to cause the content frame to wait until the tree has been defined before calling methods on it?

Thanks!

Tyler

In the frame with the tree you can store reference to tree object into global variable:
