[mapguide-users] RE: parent.parent.parent.mapFrame - AJAX vsFUSION

Try to put a breakpoint at the line in question, then click "Start 
debugging".
Now once the page hits the line, the debugger will stop and show the 
line with a highlight.
Then, go to the 4th tab on the right ("Show"), and type in "GetParent" 
and press enter.
It will now show you what it thinks GetParent is (a function or null).
If it is a function, try to type "GetParent()", to see what GetParent() 
returns.
If it returns null, try to type "window", and expand the "[Methods]" 
item, to see what methods you have loaded/defined.
