Details

if we use the example below, window.frames[0] manipulates the 2nd frame

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <body>
    <div id="div">
  </div>

  <div>
  <iframe src="http://www.seleniumhq.org/download"></iframe>
  </div>

  <script type="text/javascript">
  document.getElementById("div").innerHTML='<iframe src="http://www.seleniumhq.org/"></iframe>';
. </script>


I have tested this in Chrome, Firefox and IE and only IE returns this in the order I expect(window.frames[0] being the top frame when viewing the page).

I think the spec is wrong here, since it doesn't match most browsers.  Filed https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24662
The spec was updated to how we do it
