            Description

            the following use case can be reproduced by the attached demo application:

            1. Click the "New Contact" link in the left frame.
            2. The input page is displayed in the right frame.
            3. Fill in the first name and last name
            4. Then click the "Submit" button.
            5. The submitted data will be displayed in the right frame.
            6. Then click the "New Contact" link again. This time the input page is not displayed in the right frame. Instead it is displayed in a new window.

              A workaround would be to use Javascript to modify frame's location. It looks like if the frame was modified dynamically IE loses the reference to it.

              Define new variable when iterating over object properties to avoid overwriting the 'name ' variable which normally is bound to the window object.
