If you call the following code in a window loaded inside an IFRAME:

    window.parent.eval( 'var MyObject = new Object();' )

... "MyObject" is created at the "window" global scope, not at "window.parent".

The URL points to a simple test case. It works well with IE, Firefox and Opera.

Any temporary workaround to evaluate a script in a specific window is welcome.
