Q559 When using location.replace(theURL) to replace the contents of a Frame within a frameset will the framesets onLoad event handler trigger?

No. The onLoad event handler is triggered only when all the frames have *initially* loaded, and not on any subsequent frame location change.

Note: in Opera replace() will work, but only with absolute URL's.
