           Summary: History doesn't increment when submitting a form in an
                    IFRAME
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://development.rhubarbproductions.com/iframe/
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: History
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: kevin at rhubarbproductions.com


Visit the test link and enter some text in the field and click the "Go to Frame 2" link. In the Resulting frame, click the "Go Back to Frame 1 via javascript history" link and you will see it move back to frame 1 as expected and the field still has the text you typed as expected from a back function.

Now click the form Send button. Clicking the "Go Back to Frame 1 via javascript history" link now breaks in one of 2 ways. If the test link was the 1st page you loaded in the browser tab, nothing will happen instead of going back to frame 1 in the IFRAME. If you had a page loaded in the tab prior to loading the test link, it will go back to that page because it doesn't see any other page in the history between the 2. The IFRAME change is not incrementing the history when the form is submitted.

If you open the IFRAME in a New Tab on it's own via the contextual menu, you'll find that submitting the form now increments just fine and you can return to Frame 1 via the link. It's only when it's an IFRAME.

This is broken in the latest Webkit, Safari 5 and Chrome, while it works as expected in Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera.
