this is such a strange problem, i hardly know how/what to ask
Thumb Nail Viewer

i have a dirctory, under a Virtual site.
in that directory, are some images, config.js file, with an array of the pictures, and an index.html file, with 2 frames named "win1" and "win2"

win1's src is a javascript, that draws thumbnails on the left pain(win1) , and the large picture, in the right (win2).... win2 has NO src

if i attempt to execute the index.html, A line in the thumnail js file

alert("before with");
with(parent.win2.document) {
alert("after with");
open();
alert ("after open");


FAILS (never prints "After with") ..... (i have an alert, before and after)

MAKEING NO change, other then executing the SAME
index.html, from

www/var/html/test/index.html (called from the MAIN HOME site), works just fine.....

there is something about this "Virtual" page, as opposed to the "Main site"
that causes the with(parent......) to fail.....

any help ????


And thanks.....

the solution was stranger then the problem:
i put a BLANK_FILE in /var/www/html/blank.html , and set src="http://www.mysite.com/blank.html" and it worked....

it seems, for some unexplainable (at least to me),
that parent.win2.document, was undefined (did not exist)....
ill never figure out, why it does (more or less), from an index.html, which appears
UNDER /var/www/html, but not a users virtual document root......
