frame collection versus gEBI

[Andrew Poulos]

If I have an IFRAME named and ID'd "main" why is it that while

document.frames["main"].name
==
document.getElementById("main").name


document.frames["main"]
!=
document.getElementById("main")
?

If I have an IFRAME named and ID'd "main" why is it that while

document.frames["main"].name

That is an odd mix of bracket and dot notation. Why not
document.frames.main.name?

==
document.getElementById("main").name

Certainly that assertion should be true.

document.frames["main"]
!=
document.getElementById("main")

The first one is a window object. The other is an element. Of course
they are not equal. (!)
