I'd like to know if the issue I'm going to describe is a bug.

If I bind an event from an iframe content to its parent window and use a property set to the iframe content window in order to update a counter whenever I refresh the iframe page the counter property doesn't seem to be correctly reinitialized. The iframe page should set the window.counter to 0 each time the page is reloaded, but the counter property seems to keep previous value.

I've been able to reproduce this issue on Chrome and Opera. On IE and Firefox there is no issue.

To better expose this issue I created a fiddle snippet:

To reproduce the issue, first try to click outside the iframe: the counter will increment by 1 each time a click event is triggered. Then, click multiple times on the "Reload this page" link and then click outside the iframe. You will see the counter is now incremented by the number of times you clicked on the link not by 1 as it should.

The same snippet with the use of standard javascript onclick event instead of the $.on() function perfectly works on Chrome, Opera, IE, Firefox :

So is it a problem related to the $.on() function when we use it with a parent window?

Tested browser :

- Opera 23.0.1522.60 

- Chrome 36.0.1985.125

- IE 11.0.9600.17207

- Firefox 31

Thank your for your help.
