That test is for a *FRAME* not an *IFRAME*. I remember adding the code 
to add the ability to access frames by ID over a year ago, for a mutual 
client in Madison. When i added that, i also added a comment saying 
"Does not work for IFRAMES". I don't recall the details regarding what 
exactly would be needed to make this work.
