Given the following HTML:
<html>
<body onload="myOnLoad()">
<script language="javascript">
function topFunc() {
  alert("this is topfunc");
}
function fillOuterFrame(w) {
  w.document.write('<frameset rows="30%,70%">'+
                   '  <frame name="innerframe"
src="javascript:this.parent.parent.fillInnerFrame(this)"/>' +
                   '</frameset>');
  w.document.close();
}
function fillInnerFrame(w) {
  w.document.write('<div id="innerDiv">This is the inner frame</div>');
  w.document.close();
}
function myOnLoad() {
  var oframe = top.frames["oframe"];
  var innerFrame = oframe.frames["innerframe"];
  var innerDiv = innerFrame.document.getElementById("innerDiv");
  innerDiv.innerHTML = 'This is DHTML'; 
}
</script>
<iframe name="oframe" height="100%" width="100%"
src="javascript:this.parent.fillOuterFrame(this)"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

It also failes on Win32 Firefox 1.0.1 with the same error.
Things _do_ work if I specify "real" documents in the "src" attributes to the
frame (e.g. 'src="myfile.html"') as opposed to javascript pseudo-URL's

Is this a case where the "same domain" rules are getting tripped up by the
"javascript:" url's?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the above HTML (no errors should display in console)
2. Hit F5 (or just the Reload button) (NOT shift-f5)
3. See error report in javascript console


Actual Results:  
"Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property
HTMLDocument.getELementById" displays in javascript console

Expected Results:  
no error message should be reported.
