When using MS IE 8, but not when using Firefox Opera Safari Chrome, having loaded a Web page into an iframe, if that Web page contains the form <a href="news:/message-ID/">xxx</a>, then, on accessing the corresponding element of the links array, trying for Link.protocol gives an "Invalid argument" error. Link.protocol for a preceding <a href="news:it.comp.lang.javascript">xxx</a> is accessible, as it is fot all other <a href...> that I've tried.
Just thought that Microsoft users might like to know.

Only in an iframe? ISTM we went over this before with news links in IE7. Trying for link.href gave the same result. IIRC, the link element is an "unknown" type (typeof Link == 'unknown') for some news links. This is not an error in JScript, but an odd (and perfectly allowable) quirk of an IE host object. If you fail to avoid this exception (by whatever means), the error is definitely in your program.

There aren't as many of those (meaning people who program IE-only Javascript) as there are JS programmers who must support IE among the rest of the browsers. Why hide this here?

I wrote "into an iframe", meaning "into an iframe". If I had meant "only into an iframe", I would have written "only into an iframe" or something else of similar meaning.

Elsewhere one meets predominantly those who do not expect MS IE to behave correctly. Here one meets those who use only MS software and MS newsgroups, and has a somewhat greater chance of getting MS aware of the matter.
On that basis I'll add that, in JScript 5.8.22886 and previously, for S a string of over 20 digits, parseFloat(), Number(), and unary + are all correct with S but WRONG BY A FACTOR OF TEN on S+".0". Or so it seems to me.

Read up access to links - upper case / lowercase - "Link.protocol " != javascript, for sake of continuity - as for forms, forms do not have such elements, the element must be "innerHTML" of a form element; Think of <img/> not a form element per se.
