Try this page. You should get two alerts, but in Safari 3 beta for Windows you get only the first one. <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function createFrame() { frame = document.createElement('IFRAME'); frame.id = frame.name = "myFrame"; frame.src = "empty.htm"; alert("Creating iframe"); document.appendChild(frame); alert("Created iframe"); } </script> </head> <body onload="createFrame();"> </body> </html>

Safari 3 throws a DOM exception: HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: DOM Exception 3 file:///Volumes/Data/Home/test.htm Camino 1.5 and Firefox also appear to throw an exception, so I'm not convinced this is a bug in WebKit.

Right, and the correct code would append under document.body, which works everywhere, but it's a regression in the sense that this worked in Safari 2.0.4. Not so important as it's easily worked around though.

Ah, thanks. I'll close this bug for now as the change is intentional, but it should be reopened if this change in behaviour causes any compatibility concerns.
