The initial loading of the page does not trigger any JavaScript errors, but reloading the page triggers this error: Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property Window.name When I load the page with NS4.x the left frame first comes up with "No JavaScript?" at the top, and after a few second delay then loads the menu properly. I'll initially put this to DOM Level 0, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it's actually a Tech Evangelism issue. I'm not real swift a diagnosing this sort of problem. :-( Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Direct browser to given URL. Actual Results: Left frame is blank. Expected Results: Left frame should have a menu.
mozilla doesn't see that the left frame is a frame at all.. right-click in it: The context menu contains no frame related items
may come from JavaScript from top frame: http://isl715.nws.noaa.gov/tdl/icwf/user_guide_ifps11/mtmcode.js Code seems to be old and may not handle Mozilla properly.
I believe Oliver is correct. I'm not very familiar with JavaScript, but I see references in mtmcode.js to document.layers and document.all, which I believe are proprietary. Should we go ahead and send this over to Tech Evangelism?

This bug seems to be outdated, reading the comments, it seems to have been a envagelism bug. Also now the url doesnt even work. Can anyone verify and close this bug?
Without a testcase we can't do anything about this bug. Marking WORKSFORME, please reopen if someone can find a testcase for the problem, thanks!
