Bug 9145 – Setting frame.src is not registered in history

• Component: History
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

Setting frame.src to load a page in a frame does not cause that URL to be recorded in the history.  When a link to the previously loaded page appears later, that link is rendered as unvisited rather than visited.

In Firefox 1.5.0.3 on Mac OS X, a page loaded via frame.src is recorded in history.

In MSIE 6 on WinXP SP2, a page loaded via frame.src is NOT recorded in history.

This behavior occurs in Safari 2.0.3 (417.9.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.6 (8I127) as well as locally-built WebKit r14551.

Test v1

Test demonstrating the problem with setting frame.src.  It may be possible to simplify this test.

Note that there is commented-out code in the frame.src-history.js file that will make the test run faster.  It should be used in place of the slower code if this test is checked in.

NOTE: I filed this bug because I noticed a difference in behavior between Safari/WebKit, Firefox and MSIE 6.  I do not know what the correct behavior is.

I believe this is a dup of 9166, no?
