"MyObject" is created at the "window" global scope, not at "window.parent". The URL points to a simple test case. It works well with IE, Firefox and Opera. Any temporary workaround to evaluate a script in a specific window is welcome. 49649 1 mrowe 2006-10-25 20:05:05 -0700 Confirmed in 418.9 and ToT. 45750 2 ap 2006-11-14 22:05:27 -0800 (In reply to comment #0) > Any temporary workaround to evaluate a script in a specific window is welcome. Will document.write()'ing it there work? May be related to bugs 3791, 7783. 45704 3 webkit 2006-11-15 15:47:08 -0800 document.write will not work because the parent document has already been loaded. So, when calling document.write, the document will be cleared and a new stream will be opened. 44948 4 mrowe 2006-11-20 21:02:40 -0800 A workaround that will work is to insert a script element via DOM manipulation. See <http://bdash.net.nz/files/bug-11399-1.html> for an example of a document in an iframe evaluating a script in the context of its parent document. 44954 5 webkit 2006-11-21 02:12:05 -0800 Nice move Mark... your workaround worked like a charm. I was too concentrated on making eval working. I'll be committing the changes I've made on FCKeditor today, so the next nightly (of FCKeditor) will finally load in Safari (420+) (See bug #9915). It will not work properly, but at least will load. Now we can continue debugging further. Thanks for it. 34584 6 mrowe 2007-01-16 19:02:06 -0800 <rdar://problem/4928617> 9379 7 14669 ggaren 2007-05-22 16:55:26 -0700 Created attachment 14669 test case for eval scope Firefox, IE, Opera, and Safari all disagree about this. IE has no eval method in inner windows. Firefox uses the inner window as the front of the scope chain, the variable object, but not 'this'. Opera uses the inner window as the front of the scope chain, the variable object, and 'this'. Safari uses the outer window as the front of the scope chain and 'this', and a separate object that is not the inner window as the variable object. 4984 8 ddkilzer 2007-07-11 21:34:12 -0700 See also: http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12912#c6 546 9 koivisto 2007-09-13 07:59:04 -0700 Fixed along with <rdar://problem/5445058> Sending JavaScriptCore/ChangeLog Sending JavaScriptCore/kjs/function.cpp Sending LayoutTests/ChangeLog Sending LayoutTests/fast/js/window-eval-context-expected.txt Sending LayoutTests/fast/js/window-eval-context.html Transmitting file data .....
