Opening document in frame with javascript

Question

Hello.
I've got problem with javascript on Safari 4 (both and on Win and on MacOS), while trying to open html document in frame.
Reproducing the problem is quite difficult, so I'll begin with html source.
I have one frame in index.html file:
+<iframe id="topframe" name="topframe" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="980" height="580" src="form1.html";></iframe>+
form1.html looks like this:
+<input type="button" id="action" name="action" value="Make action" onclick = "document.getElementById('actionframe').src='dir/action.html';">+
+<input type="button" id="sel" name="sell" value="..." onclick = "top.frames[['topframe']].location.replace('form2.html');">+
action.html source is:
+<script type="text/javascript">parent.document.getElementById('sel').click();</script>+
So, when you open index.html, you see two buttons: first opens form2.html in the same frame, second opens dir/action.html in other frame. While dir/action.html just "clicks" the first button.
Basically both buttons does the same.
The problem is, that Safari fails to open form2.html with first button. Somehow Safari thinks that form2.html is in /dir/, like action.html is. So you get this error:
*Not Found*
*The requested URL /safari_test/dir/form2.html was not found on this server.*
This example works on all major browsers, except Safari 4. Even on Safari 3 it works fine.
I made an example, so you can test it here:
http://82.135.245.49/safari_test/

Answer 1

Have you tried putting the full URL instead of just form2.html?
Second option is to move the file to that directory and change it for the other browsers.
Third option is to stop using frames altogether, they are generally considered bad practice and can cause issues with browsers that aren't IE.
