Stephan and Pascal - thanks again for your response. My last message was 
silly. I tried to strip the problem down to the smallest possible file, and 
in the process almost certainly converted it into a different problem with 
the same symptoms. I'm now going back to a simple version of the original 
problem. As before, this code work properly in IE5.5, but fails in NS4.73.

I am using the 2000.11.07 version of dynapi.js. I assuming in the above 
includes "dynacore" should not be there - I use 
"DynAPI.include('dynapi.api.*') " (I tried naming each file explicitly - no 
difference.)

Here is the new code:

Demo.htm:
=========
[[html]]
   [[head]]
     [[title]]Framesets[[/title]]
   [[/head]]
   [[frameset rows="100,*" cols="*"]]
     [[frame src="menubar.htm" name="menu"]]
     [[frame src="coolpage.htm" name="page"]]
   [[/frameset]]
[[/html]]

Coolpage.htm:
============
[[html]]
   [[head]]
     [[title]]Cool page[[/title]]
   [[/head]]
   [[body]]Cool page[[/body]]
[[/html]]

Menubar.htm:
===========
[[html]]
   [[head]]
     [[title]]Demo[[/title]]
     [[script src="file:///C:/Tools/DynApi2/dynapi/js/dynapi.js"]][[/script]]
     [[script]]
       DynAPI.setLibraryPath("C:/Tools/DynApi2/dynapi/js/lib/")
       DynAPI.include('dynapi.api.*')
       DynAPI.onLoad=function() {
         coolpage = new DynDocument(parent.page)
       }
     [[/script]]
   [[/head]]
   [[body]]Demo[[/body]]
[[/html]]

In this code, when Demo.htm is loaded into IE, everything works - in NS, an 
error shows up in the javascript: window.

Actually, the same problem occurs even if the onLoad function is completely 
commented out - the problem appears to be solely in the loading of the 
dynapi.js stuff into NS. However, I have no idea where things are going 
wrong at this point.
