Subj : A question about iframe

Hello all,

I'd like to ask a question about iframe.
When my page is onload, I define a reference object
var referenceObj = document.getElementById('iframe').contentWindow.document;

And then I use that object to get the innerHTML property.
referenceObj.body.innerHTML. There is no any problem yet.

However, after I change the iframe.src dynamically, I can't use the
referenceObj. I have to define/update this again in order to get the
innerHTML property by this object.
I have tested in IE6 sp1, it doesn't need this step. But Mozilla needs.
IMHO, referenceObj is just a reference object, it should work even I
have change the iframe.src.
Is it bug or feature?
Can anyone explain this?
Thanks in advance.
