body.tagname is null or not an object

[Arlen Ayojiak]

We discovered an interesting problem with iFrames and IE6. We started
encountering a body.tagName is null or not an object error when trying
to print a web page or a document that is within an iFrame. I noticed
that there were a lot of people getting this same error, well this is
fix I discovered for our team here.

When we had the problem:
<iframe name=body src=wherever.html></iframe>

Resolved:
<iframe name=iframebody src=whereever.html></iframe>

See the difference? With the new browser, calling an iframe body
which is enclosed in a page that already has a body tag conflicted
with one another and in result, the error appeared.

Update the iframe's name to something other than body and that should
do it.
