Correct but irrelevant - the orignal poster is using 'and' in an
attempt to get two things to happen. I suspect he/she has just been
copying and pasting Javascript without actually understanding the
language. The code should be in the following form:

if (condition1) { action1 }; if (condition2) {action 2}; return true;

And in this case as there is only one command in the action, the curly
brackets aren't needed:

if (parent.frames.Play) parent.frames.Play.location.href =
'PlayMirte.htm';
if (parent.frames.Text) parent.frames.Text.location.href =
'Text0000.htm';
return true;
