Bug Description:

a sepearte issue from bug#7148295 - 7u4 wont load applet on Chrome.

After fix the hanging problem on bug#7148295, you be able to login but 
not the "serach" link issue which is a separate issue and need to be fixed.

The customer frame becomes undefined after visit any of 
those three search links, 
but not the "list" links. Looks like there 
are some operation in applet cause 
the frame to be freed for Chrome.

The problem is Chrome specific, and seems to be related on reference 
counting on
JavaScript object. What is interesting is that this is 
only a problem on Chrome, 
and only for those search links. 

The same test case and an EPF in bug#7133019 can authenticate 
to their portal 
running
 Truepass and reproduce the issue.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Couldn't reproduce the problem with chrome 19. Note that chrome prompts user before running an applet and make sure give permission to run the applets.

EVALUATION The search link failure is also reproduced, but this is likely a javascript problem, could be a bug in Chrome as the frame doesn't seems to exist, Try to turn on Chrome developer tools, and javascript console will show an error for Chrome which works on Firefox, EventListener.js:62, top.entrustTruePassGuiFrame is actually undefined in Chrome.
