Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

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

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/10.0.648.151 Safari/534.16
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

Document.domain values have issues when loaded via iframe

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The URL http://vivu.tv/portal/Join?flow=726-726-5652&name=abcd&email=abcd%40e.com&Submit=Join+Event&mode=133&t=conference connects to jabber by loading it in an iframe. 
When you open two or more instances of the URL in firefox 3.x you can see that the user count to the bottom right increases (number of instances - 1). 

But in 4.0 the jabber never connects. We have debugged this and found that it is because of the document.domain issues when loaded via iframe.

This could be a huge bummer

This could be a P1.Please have a look at it before Firefox 4.0 is released for everyone

Firefox 4.0 is done and has been for a while  So this won't be fixed for Firefox 4.

The link in comment 0 doesn't show the issue.

The link in comment 1 seems to show it.  What exactly is the problem you debugged it to with document.domain?  What fails, exactly?  A call from outside the frame into the frame?  A call from inside the frame out to the containing page?  Something else?

Is Flash required to reproduce the problem, or is a pure JS+HTML testcase possible here?

Need more info from reporter -- hope it can be delivered so we can confirm this bug. We don't need a reduced testcase, so much as more logging to track symptoms and tell-tales.
