parent frame.

Attachment: Append iframe to document testcase

I don't see exactly your problem with this testcase, but after I clicked on the
button "x" times and then did a reload, I got "x" items added to the history
list. 
I don't get to see the iframe page however after a reload.

Attachment: Modification to previous attachment demonstrates the problems

Click the "append iframe" button, then click refresh.  Notice the contents of
the iframe take over the main page.

Seems that the behavior is different if you run via "open file..." than from 
an actual web server.  The problem seems to occur only if run via "open 
file..."

This is fixed on trunk (but not on the 1.7 branch).
