Details

since 256932, we can reference an element directly by its id/name. But when a
page is in a frame, it still fails.
For example, you can see an alert with the element information with following code:
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="content-type"
 content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
  <title>IE Compat Test Cases</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 id="test">IE Compatible Test Cases</h1>
<script language="javascript">
alert(test);
</script>
</body>
</html>
But, if you load this page in a frame, it shows nothing and an error is logged
in javascript console as"test is not defined".
