Well I'll be durned. I wonder if that's a change from earlier versions or
if I just missed it originally.
If both frames are from the same site, I don't know if a reason why that
should fail.
Does this return the DOM element in question?
$('input:[EMAIL PROTECTED]',window.frames["mainFrame"].document)[0];
And if so, does this fire it?
$('input:[EMAIL PROTECTED]',window.frames["mainFrame"].document)[0].click
();

Actually, click with no arguments does trigger the event.
I'm not sure what you mean by different contexts - they are loaded
from the same site.
Another interesting thing is that if I do:
var mainFrame = parent.frames["mainFrame"].document; (from inside of
one of the frames)
console.log($(mainFrame));
it finds the right document, but trying to use mainFrame as a context
for a selector doesn't work. ie: console.log($('input',mainFrame));
== no good.
