So this was defined this way the last time you brought this up. I believe it should be w2.document which is different from how most constructors behave (e.g. Image), because that is what IE does and you wanted to be compatible with that. The testsuite does not test w1.XMLHttpRequest = w2.XMLHttpRequest explicitly, because nothing should happen there except referencing the interface object from elsewhere. It does test constructing an interface object from a different window and then checking how URLs resolve. See the multi-window tests. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
