[Javascript] Re: Call history.go(-1) in an iFrame from another frame

[junado at junado.com (Julien Nadeau)]

Thanks for your answer Laurent,

again, your method does work in Firefox, but it does nothing in  
Safari (it does not even returns an error). I'm curious about how  
Safari might be handling frames in its JavaScript interpretation. I'm  
running v.2.0.2 (416.12).

I'll let you know if I find something, thanks nonetheless.
