 * Gecko, following the javascript protocol spec.
 *
 * NOTE: This should not be used to replace the source of an existing iframe.
 * The new src value will be ignored, per the spec.
 *
 * Due to cross-browser differences, the load is not guaranteed  to be
 * synchronous. If code depends on the load of the iframe,
 * then {@code goog.net.IframeLoadMonitor} or a similar technique should be
 * used.
 *
 * According to
 * http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/webappapis.html#javascript-protocol
 * the 'javascript:""' URL should trigger a new load of the iframe, which may be
 * asynchronous. A void src, such as 'javascript:undefined', does not change
 * the browsing context document's, and thus should not trigger another load.
 *
 * Intentionally not about:blank, which also triggers a load.
 *
 * NOTE: 'javascript:' URL handling spec compliance varies per browser. IE
 * throws an error with 'javascript:undefined'. Webkit browsers will reload the
 * iframe when setting this source on an existing iframe.
