806400 - Dynamically creating an iframe via JS does not refresh window.frames

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 170799

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[htcmaxx]

Attachment: index.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0
Build ID: 20121024073032

Steps to reproduce:

See file index.html. When you click the "refresh"-button, the iframe "ifr.html" is loaded. Inside the iframe, as variable is set to new Date().getSeconds(). This value is then returned by the function "getValue", called from index.html. 


Actual results:

When you repeat clicking "refresh" and then "Get value...", you always get the same value. The Iframe seems to be cached.


Expected results:

The value should change as the seconds move on. The interesting thing is: when you add this line after the "....innerHTML = document.get.....", it works like expected:

window.frames['ifr'] = document.getElementById('ifr').contentWindow;
