           Summary: Safari does not load page in iframe if the frame display
                    is none
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh PowerPC
               URL: http://www.scottwickham.com/nyl/tabs/tab7.html
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: scottus at gmail.com


I used both innerHTMl and DOM methods to add an iframe to my page.

document.getElementById('loadiframe').innerHTML  ='<iframe  id="frame1" 
src="frame.html"  style="display:none"></iframe>';

If the display was equal to none. Safari refused to load frame.html. Just
because it is not displayed doesn't mean it shouldn't be loaded and a full
member of the DOM.  

In my specific example frame.html would be loaded and the script in the
frame.html would be executed which would then modify the main page. Safari
never executes the script, nore does it report a javascript error. It just
totally ignores the page unless display is not equal to none.
