Jed, I am not trying to understand what they meant when they wrote this, it is clear enough.
I share and agree with your other points above, I was just saying that testing: elem.nodeType == 3 || elem.nodeType == 8 when "elem" is a window reference, I expected to fail, but actually it does not fail. It just log a couple of warnings in the console window: Warning: reference to undefined property elem.nodeType So that could be written as: if ( element.nodeType && (elem.nodeType == 3 || elem.nodeType == 8) ) return; So to avoid also those console warnings. For sure it is more important to fix what you pointed out about child iframes windows.
