Loading http://www.descargamelon.com/votar.php?juego=1040&valor=3 directly works fine.

document.frames.oculto3.location='/votar.php?juego=1040&valor=3

is the line which is failing.

It looks like we don't support document.frames.framename.

We support it as window.frames, not document.frames. I do not know if there is any reason to avoid supporting the non-standard variant, nor if it works exactly the same.

I am not sure on web-spec but Safari do support window.frames but not document.frames, I am not able to find reference about later on Google and only have MDN article for former:

Do we need to alias or something? I tried to find something on Webkit Github but couldn't find related commit to this. Appreciate if someone can update this accordingly? Thanks!

I think this is won't fix at this point. IE is long gone.
