SYMPTOMS

Two Java programs with two different host bases running in two different instances of Internet Explorer 5 experience problems if both programs attempt to load a Web address (URL) into two different frames of the same name (each frame is within a different instance of the browser) by using the showDocument(...) function. The first instance of the program works, but the second does not.
