Bug 23398 – setTimeout, updating CSS in parent frame

• Status: NEW
• Component: Frames

[Anthony Catel]

I have a frame which include a Javascript which "morph" an element in the parent window. The problem is that with webkit-based browser (chrome included) element is not redrawed using settimeout().

e.g.

var el = window.parent.document.getElementById('myElem');
setTimeout(function() {
  // Setting some CSS property such as "top" or "left"
}), delay);


To fix it I have to do something like : document.parent.setTimeout().

Strange thing is that element is redrawed when an event occure such as mouse mouving.

The first one is using setTimeout and the second one is using document.parent.setTimeout().

(It works with gecko and trident).

Taking test link from Web Archive - https://web.archive.org/web/20090122185754/http://files2.lya.eu/moo/

I am able to reproduce this bug in Safari 17.4.1 where first frame does not show `start` link while Chrome Canary 125 does.

Marking this as 'New'.
