Btw, any javascript expert know what happens when you have an 100%x100%
frame, and you, as an example, add a site such as hotmail.com in the
frame's URL? Wouldn't the script be able to extract information such as
current URL in the frame?

  If the frame is not owned by the script (same site) then it will not be
able to read any information from it. In theory. As Guninsky has pointed
out a few times it is sometimes possible, depending on the browser and
it's version.
