support: understanding iframes

[gcbw]

I am trying to understand why this code asserts true.

    var parentwin = domino.createWindow('<h1>parent</h1><iframe id="frm" src="http://example.com/child.html"></iframe>', 'http://example.com/parent.html');
    var window = parentwin.document.getElementById('frm')._contentWindow;
    window.location.href = 'http://example.com/child.html';

    assert.equal(window.top, window.self);

i'm running this on mocha, over node12.

debugging i can confirm that at the time of assert, both window.top and window.self shows the same object (having location.href=child.html.

what am i doing wrong here? Is there a better way to mock a window with a parent window similar to an iframe relation for a test?

found this test, but it doesn't touch the .top .parent properties either

domino/test/web-platform-tests.js

Line 145 in a18b920

iframe._contentWindow = new Window(dummyXmlDoc);

installed webstrom to make sure i had a decent debugger without a browser.

guessing there's no support for nesting. Is this something we might want to add (i assumed it was already supported because of the w3c tests)

domino doesn't generally do loading, by design. If there's some useful improvements to the handling of <iframe> which doesn't involve loading content from its src, I'm certainly open to them, especially if they are standards-based.

don't care about the loading either (the test reset the location just to id them). mostly the nesting is what matters.
