Per the subject, this doesn't work in an iframe.

Code:
function album_go(albId) 
  {
      alert('Won't see this...');
      location.href = 'tray_photos.aspx?albumId='+albId;
   }

It should be done like this
Code:
function album_go(albId) {
	alert('Won't see this...');
	window.location.href = 'tray_photos.aspx?albumId = ' + albId;
}

Yeah great catch! Stupid mistake on my part....

Another reason why it wasn't working (and I was getting no error) was because, for some weird reason the calling function wasn't being recoginzed if typed like this:

<div onclick='album_go('4');'>

but when I changed it to the double quotes it was fine:

<div onclick="album_go('5');">
