Well I'll be durned. I wonder if that's a change from earlier versions or
if I just missed it originally.
If both frames are from the same site, I don't know if a reason why that
should fail.
Does this return the DOM element in question?
$('input:[EMAIL PROTECTED]',window.frames[mainFrame].document)[0];
And if so, does this fire it?
$('input:[EMAIL PROTECTED]',window.frames[mainFrame].document)[0].click
();

Actually, click with no arguments does trigger the event.
I'm not sure what you mean by different contexts - they are loaded
from the same site.
Another interesting thing is that if I do:
var mainFrame = parent.frames[mainFrame].document; (from inside of
one of the frames)
console.log($(mainFrame));
it finds the right document, but trying to use mainFrame as a context
for a selector doesn't work. ie: console.log($('input',mainFrame));
== no good.

The jQuery method click is used to bind the click event -- it will not
fire it.
For example: $('a').click() will not fire the click event. $('a').click(
function() { /* do stuff */ } ) will bind to the event.
$('a')[0].click() will fire the event, because its returning the first
element of the jQuery collection (a specific DOM element) and firing it
directly.
The other thing you could run into is security issues if your two frames
are
running under different contexts.

This started out as just a quick hack until I can redo the mechanism
correctly, and now I just want to know how it works.
$(window) has no properties, so $(window.frames[1].document) has no
properties. Oddly, window.frames[1].document in firebug pulls the
correct document. I've been trying to make the following work to no
avail. Is jQuery limited to the current document by design?
$
('input:[EMAIL PROTECTED]',window.frames[mainFrame].document).click();
