ie7.js and framesets
Peter Krefting
I am having a problem with ie7.js in a document that is enclosed in
frames. When ie7.js gets evaluated, for some reason document.body is
undefined, and thus the script later fails with a "v is null or
undefined". I've seen that the problem has been reported to the issue
tracker twice, but there has been no resolution so far.
When I load the offending page without a surrounding frameset, it
displays just fine, applying the CSS fixes that I need ie7.js for.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix it? I tried changing references
to v.something to check if v is defined, but so far I have not been
able to make the script work. I also tried taking the latest version
from Subversion, but that didn't help.
Can't provide a URL at the moment since it is a document generated
internally by a system I am working on. I can try making a testcase if
necessary.

to load both in a main document and in a subsequent iframe.
I am not a javascript person. But here is what I was able to
determine:
It has to do with the w=document.body at the very end of the IE8 code.
Placing a js alert message in the parent document at the end of the
page caused the issue to go away, but I had only placed the alert
there to warn viewers I was working on the page. Meaning, this is not
a solution.
My present solution, remove IE8 from the iframe's header, but leave it
in the parent header. I haven't yet been able to thoroughly test this
to see if it results in other things that IE8 would normally fix
becoming "broken" again within the iframe.
Hope this helps.
