Summary Page refresh reloads entire iframe and not just the current iframe contents

If you have a website that relies on iframes, and your navigation is happening within the iframe, refreshing a particular page should just refresh the current contents of the iframe. Right now in webkit browsers (Safari and Chrome) refreshing a page in an iframe reloads the entire page and hence reverts to the original page that was shown in the iframe, not the current one. The bug to track iframe src change history was fixed, and the history correctly shows prior pages that were in the iframe, however refreshing the page goes back to original page. iframe src history bug that was fixed - https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9166 This issue doesn't happen in Firefox. Test page (thanks to whoever made it) http://www.s-seven.net/iframe_test Google Chrome issue similar to this http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16810

Safari has always treated "refresh" as a top-level frame operation, only. The reporter here specifies we behave differently from Firefox... what does IE do?

Open this page in IE, FF and Chrome. Push the button to change the iframe src. Now refresh the page. IE/FF: page refreshes, but iframe src doesn't get reverted to its original src. Chrome/Safari: page refreshes and also reverts iframe src back to its original src. Will webkit be fixed to make it consistent with FF and IE? <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script> function butt() { document.getElementById('sometext').innerHTML = "Main page changed. Also iframe src changed."; document.getElementById('frame').src = 'http://www.apple.com/itunes'; } </script> </head> <body> <button type='button' onclick='butt();'>push me</button> <div id='sometext' >initial text</div> <iframe id='frame' src='http://www.apple.com' width='500px' height='500px'></iframe> </body> </html>
