What 'properties' exactly are you talking about? Have you given any thought to the parent.frames.length property? I can't stress enough that if people want to get real help in this group they should post a scaled down test case on their site and make areference to it or include the code in your messages. I've been using <FRAMESET> exstensively in my coding and have'nt found any problems.

I think the workaround > is to use functions in your frameset page to set and get value. Something like. Well, I found what was causing my problem. Since in a frameset window, the "frames" array takes up the first "n" property slots, the properties which I had stored there from the "main" window were getting overwritten when the frameset loaded. It seems like this is a bug, annd that the browser should put the frames array AFTER any existing properties. Perhaps I'm using properties in a way which was not expectd. Anyway, the really "kludgy" way to get around this was to store three (that's how many frames I have in the frameset) dummy properties from the main window, and then the two that I really care about. When the frames get loaded, the three dummies get stomped on, but my two properites are still there. It works great, but looks awful and will lead to some errors if I increase the number of frames without updating the number of dummy properties. I hope this is a bug which will get fixed. I wonder if Netscape is reading this?
