Re: Referncing a JS generated iframe

What you say here doesn't tally with my experience. I regularly insert
iframes through the DOM (using cloneNode) and their documents are all
available through the frames collection (as in
frames[i].document.getElementById(...)).

Could you be more explicit as to what you mean by "generate an iframe
on the fly"?
