56132 - frame-removing javascript functions do not work

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 56967

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Jordan Wambaugh]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; m17) Gecko/20000807
BuildID:    2000080712

The following code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
<!--
if (parent.frames.length)
parent.location.href= self.location;
// -->
</script>
should remove a page that is in a frame from the frame it is in. this works in
IE 5.x and Netscape 4.7, but does not work in mozilla.
For example, in the example page given, the website is put under a frame by
namezero, but there is a javascript which will "remove" the frame (code is
above). It does NOT remove the frame when viewing the page in mozilla.
I have not experimented around with the actual cause of this, but i hope i am of
some help.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to diablosecurity.com


Actual Results:  the diablo security frame is still a frame, and the namezero
frame is still there

Expected Results:  The namezero frame should be removed and only have the frame
which called the javascript routine.(aka the diablosecurity page). you should
see the diablo security page without any frames.

Browser, not engine. Reassigning to DOM Level 0  -

confirmed with 110204 mozilla trunk win32 build.  The bottom frame is not
removed like it is in 4.x

The security constraints in mozilla are too strict,
parent.location.href=self.location is failing, 'parent' is from
www.diablosecurity.com and 'self' is from www.crosswind.net so we throw a
access_denied exception. Any site should be able to set the location of any
window, right?

That's correct. Any frame should be able to load any other frame/window. I'll
take a look.
