unspecified error when accessing 'document' after file download

[Suzanne Boyle]

I have some javascript code in my page that calls the
document.getElementById method. This usually works fine however in IE 6,
after I have downloaded a file using the File Download dialog, I get an
unspecified error.

After a bit of testing I have found that whenever I try to access 'document'
this error occurs but only when the page is within a frame.

Does anyone know why this would be happenning?

Thanks

Try this:
top.frames['myframe'].document.getElementByID()

If you have frame named "guestbook" and it contains form
named "comments" and textarea named "entry" then you can access its
value with:

x = top.guestbook.comments.entry.value;
