frames === windowevaluates to true.- Each item in the
window.framespseudo-array represents theWindowobject corresponding to the given<frame>'s or<iframe>'s content, not theframeoriframeDOM element (i.e.,window.frames[0]is the same thing asdocument.getElementsByTagName("iframe")[0].contentWindow). - For more details about the returned value, refer to thisthread on mozilla.dev.platform.
