Beginner JavaScript Question
Author
I'm pretty new to javascript and I've got a question about how it handles reloads.
I have an onload function call set up in a body tag of an HTML file and it calls the function fine when the page is loaded but when you hit reload, it's not recalled. For some reason it's on a problem in Firefox and in IE it seems to be working just fine.
Any help is appreciated.

Here's my code:
I've moved the call out of onload but it still produces strange results - it seems to work on the first run in Firefox and it works fine in IE but refresh kills it in Firefox (title is not rendered).
Also, if I take out the document.write comment and put in the others, I'm attempting to create a table, which IE blows up horizontally, violating all the td constraints which I would expect it should be forced to follow since they're specifically stated in the table declaration.
The page is referenced within a frame from my index.html file, and parent.frames[2] represents the main body document.
Any help is appreciated.
<html><head><script language="JavaScript">function getTitle(filename){ var nameArray = filename.split("/"); var index = nameArray.length - 2; if(nameArray[index].indexOf(".") > -1) { return "Ethereal Divine"; } else { return nameArray[index]; }}function updateTitle(){ //document.write("<table border width=100%>"); //document.write("<tr width=100%>"); //document.write("<td width=10%><img src=\"darthvader.jpg\" width=100%></td>"); //document.write("<td width=80%><center><font color=\"red\"><h1>" + getTitle(parent.frames[2].location.href) + "</h1></font></center></td>"); //document.write("<td width=10%><img src=\"Wolf.jpg\" width=100%></td>"); //document.write("</tr></table>"); document.write("<center><font color=\"red\"><h1>" + getTitle(parent.frames[2].location.href) + "</h1></font></center>");}</script></head><script></script><body bgcolor="black"><script language="JavaScript">updateTitle()</script></body></html>I've moved the call out of onload but it still produces strange results - it seems to work on the first run in Firefox and it works fine in IE but refresh kills it in Firefox (title is not rendered).
