This problem occurs when you dynamically replace the contents of a div conating an iframe on the second occurance you can no longer reference the iframe using the frames collection. This means window.frames['framename'].location.replace can no longer be used this is a serious problem as the history can no longer be managed. This only occurs after the div has been redfined with innerhtml the second time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.see html included
2.

Actual Results:

     window.frames['test'].location.replace('hello.htm')
   }
   function goodbye()
     {
      document.getElementById('test').src="goodbye.htm"
   }   
   function repaintTable()
     {
     document.getElementById("container").innerHTML='<table id="testtable" ><tr><td><iframe id="test" name="test" src="problem.htm"></iframe></td></tr></table>'
