Another question on window.name. Consider the following HTML:
<html>
<head><script>
function doit() {
document.getElementById("x").setAttribute("name", "y");
alert(window.frames[0].name);
}
</script></head>
<body onload="doit()">
<iframe name="x" id="x">
</iframe>
</html>
When I load this, I get:
Gecko: 'x'
khtml: 'x'
Opera: 'y'
If I modify my onload handler as follows:
function doit() {
var node = document.getElementById("x");
node.setAttribute("name", "y");
node.parentNode.removeChild(node);
document.body.appendChild(node);
alert(window.frames[0].name);
}
Then I get:
Gecko: 'y'
khtml: 'x'
Opera: undefined
Oh, and in future versions of Gecko I may well end up getting 'x' as well,
unless we take special pains to implement a different behavior.
I don't know what IE does on these testcases, but it'd be interesting to find out.
Not sure what, if anything, can be specced here, but....
