This bug appears to be related to bug 4751259, which was fixed in 1.4.1_07 and 1.4.2_02. The attached test case demonstrates the same behavior as reported in bug 4751259 in all versions prior to the integration of the fix for that bug. The test case is different from bug 4751259, however, in that the HTML page which writes the APPLET tag dynamically is inside the FRAME of another HTML page. With 1.4.1_07, 1.4.2_02 - 1.4.2_03, and 1.5.0-beta, running this test case with IE on Windows fails with the error:
"Before call - watch for alert.
the function name is openHTMLTool
document.location.href: http://dtstest15.east:8080/plugintest/mrfrm.htm
JavaScript: Javascript exception
netscape.javascript.JSException: Unknown name.
After call"
There is no problem with Mozilla 1.6 or Netscape 7.1. The test case output with those browsers is:
"Before call - watch for alert.
the function name is openHTMLTool
document.location.href: http://dtstest15.east:8080/plugintest/mr_ie.htm
After call"
Note the difference in the document.location.href.
There is also no problem with IE on the later plugin versions if the HTML page which writes the APPLET tag dynamically is NOT contained inside a FRAME, or if the HTML page contained inside the frame has the APPLET tag written explicitly inside the HTML instead of being generated dynamically.
Test Case:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Place all above files in web server doc root, e.g. C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\plugintest.
2. Compile Java source. (need to include plugin.jar in classpath)
3. With 1.4.2_03 JRE installed on system, for example, bring up http://<host:port>/plugintest/mrfrm.htm in IE. You will see the error in the plugin console. Netscape and Mozilla will not throw an error.
4. Now access http://<host:port>/plugintest/mr_ie.htm with IE directly. You will not see the error.
5. Now change mr_ie.htm to:
"<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Logon to WebFOCUS MRE</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function openHTMLTool()
{ alert("HELLO, I am in the openHTMLTool");
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<APPLET CODE='PanelTest2.class' MAYSCRIPT NAME='PanelTest2' ID='PanelTest2' HEIGHT=475 WIDTH=700>
</APPLET>
</BODY>
</HTML>"
and bring up http://<host:port>/plugintest/mrfrm.htm in IE. You will not see the error.
