I got your point, yes, but also I noticed you used call operator there.
That won't work cross browser consistently.

So instead of document.frames(0), use frames[0] or window.frames[0].

Wow, yes. I meant to use the array index operator there. Thanks for
catching that; I need to type more slowly.

Not array index operator. It is called "bracket notation property
accessor operator", aka "square bracket property accessor".

Incidentally, call operator an IE-ism that works in implementations that
have copied it, for example:
var f = document.forms,
foo = f(0)(0);

Opera copies IE-ism's and this is one of them.
alert(frames(0));

Sorry, the call operator is not an IE-ism.

Using the call operator to access a property of a dom collection is an
IE-ism.

Shows how much I know. In my mind I call it []. ;)
