User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5

Trying to retrieve a variable in an iframe using iframe.contentWindow.foobar returns "undefined"


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the attached URL
2. Follow the steps to reproduce :-)
Actual Results:  
"undefined" is returned

Expected Results:  
If it is a security issue it would be nice to have a more informative error message.
But that doesn't seem really logic to me, because we have access to the contentDocument but not the contentWindow...

clochix on irc.mozilla.or/jetpack found a workaround by doing iframe.contentDocument.defaultView.wrappedJSObject.foobar
