_accessor() not respecting context set with _selectWindow()

Hi,

I have something like:
_selectWindow('myPopup');
_accessor('document.applets[0]').myJavaScriptFunction();

If I call the second line directly on the popup window it's working well, but when run in my script it does not respect the context set by _selectWindow();. Setting the context explicitly does however work:
_popup('myPopup')._accessor('document.applets[0]').myJavaScriptFunction();

Is this a bug or by design? I would really like _selectWindow(); to be respected here, as it keeps the code clean and readable.

PS: Is this the right place to report bugs?

    Hi peterfarsinsen,

    You can report bugs here, that is fine. (We pick the real ones and internally track it.)

    What you observe is not about _accessor and _selectWindow. Since the applet is on the browser, you need to call it from inside a _call statement.
    Use 
    _selectWindow('myPopup');
_call(_accessor('document.applets[0]').myJavaScriptFunction());

    Nice. It's working.

    It's rather confusing at times that code that works from the controller doesn't work when run via Ant. I can't really see what the difference is, but I guess I'll just have to live with that.

    Thanks for helping out!
