FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)
FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
ADDITIONAL OPERATING SYSTEMS :
This bug occours in Internet Explorer 5.x and 6, but not in
Netscape 6/Mozilla.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When using an applet in a frameset, LiveConnect
JSObject.eval() in other
frames than the one containing the applet fails. The script
code is evaluated in the context of the window containing
the applet instead of the one specified.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
See the following example from the test case below. We have
a frameset of two frames,
the one to the left containing an applet:
|---------------|
|Frame1 |Frame2 |
| | |
|Applet | |
|---------------|
The applet does the following:
JSObject win = JSObject.getWindow(applet);
JSObject parent = (JSObject)win.getMember("parent");
JSObject frame2 = (JSObject)parent.getMember("Frame2");
frame2.eval("document.body.style.backgroundColor='green'");
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
This is supposed to turn the background to green in Frame2,
but instead Frame1 turns green. If Frame2 contains a
JavaScript method called foo() and you try to do
frame2.eval("foo()") that does not work either, because it
tries to evaluate foo() in Frame1.
This bug can be reproduced always.

button = new Button("Run testcase");
button.addActionListener(this);
add(button);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if(e.getSource() == button) {
try {
JSObject win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
JSObject parent = (JSObject)win.getMember("parent");
JSObject frame2 = (JSObject)parent.getMember("Frame2");
frame2.eval("document.body.style.backgroundColor='green'");
} catch(Exception ex) { System.err.println("Exception
thrown:"+ex); }
}
}
}
-------------------
END JAVA SOURCE
---------- END SOURCE ----------
CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
There is a workaround that may work in some cases, and that
is to reference the members and methods using the "top"
member that is available to all windows.
frame2.eval("top.Frame2.body.style.backgroundColor='green'")
works, but that's not a good solution and also performs bad
because of the unnecessary lookups of "top" and "Frame2".
This approach starts to get silly when you create JavaScript
objects:
top.Frame2.myObject=new
top.Frame2.MyObject(top.Frame2.MY_CONSTANT,
top.Frame2.document.getElementById('test'));
