It seems that javascript can only change the "location" property of an iframe if that iframe is empty or contains an html document. If the iframe contains a jpg, gif, pdf file etc, "location" cannot be changed at all.

Created attachment 6920 [details] additional test case Similar tests with data: URLs, self-contained. I'm not sure if this obsoletes the original test case, probably not.

This example produces a JavaScript error when the link is clicked in the test: TypeError: Undefined value http://www.smilecms.com/webkit/iframe.html Line: 32

This has been fixed for a while - I can no longer reproduce this problem with Safari 3.1.2.
