           Summary: Moving an IFRAME within the DOM tree results in
                    reloading of content
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://pilgrimwebdesign.com/iframe_move.html
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Frames
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jhurshman at gmail.com


When an IFRAME is moved within its parent's DOM tree (e.g., to wrap it inside
another element), its contents get reloaded, which can be undesireable. In
addition, Safari will report that it is still trying to load something.

The reduction at http://pilgrimwebdesign.com/iframe_move.html should
demonstrate this. What should happen is that the IFRAME is simply moved, with
no impact on the state of its contents.

What does happen is that the load and unload events of the IFRAME fire each
time the IFRAME is moved. In addition, the status bar reads:
    Loading "http://pilgrimwebdesign.com/iframe_move.html", completed 3 of n
items
where n starts at 4 and increments by one each time the IFRAME is moved.

This occurs in Safari 2.0.4 as well as the nightly.
