Hi...

I'll keep it succint.

When setting the location.href property of a frame from Javascript running
within a document in another frame what should any relative URI's be
resolved against ? The href of the frame that's being set or the href of the
frame that's doing the setting ?

I instinctively thought the former but whilst running our embedded browser
through the W3 DOM-Test-Suite I've come across some code (setTestPage in
testContainerController.html) that seems to suggest the latter case is
actually the correct way to do it.

There seems to be no authoritive answer out there (or currently in these
NG's) so i'm hoping that someone here may be able to provide me with one.

Thanks in advance..
