Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property Window.css

That's not a good sign, usually... ;)

Bug 185798 is a dupe of this bug.

Bug 185798 refrences this page http://www.ElectricBluesRadio.com
Doing my own search I found an additional site which uses IFRAMEs
http://www.wizardfkap.com/page5.html .

For a better look at what's going on:
The frameset (with error):
http://web.tampabay.rr.com/ebradio/ebr16nowplaying.html

and the page in it (displaying ok):

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

I'm still seeing this with Mozilla version 1.7.11.  (Note that the Planet Zeb 
URL I gave originally has been rearranged, and the embedded listing pages are 
down a couple pages from the top -- but they still show up as mostly blank 
blue.)

This bug appears to be due to a conflict with an older Live365.com playlist
script. Live365 has since released a newer version of the script, which does not
exhibit the problem.

I have implemented the new script at electricbluesradio.com (and
http://web.tampabay.rr.com/ebradio/ebr16nowplaying.html), so the problem is no
longer evident at this location.

However, as pointed out by others, the problem does still exist at sites
utilizing the older script.

I don't know why this works in IE, but accessing parent.site from one iframe
(live365.com) trying to get at values from another site (planetzeb.net) is
illegal. Unless IE is being served different content this may be a security
issue for them.

According to comment 7 there are newer scripts from live365.com
