For standards-compliant browsers, use contentDocument to get access to the document within the iframe. IE requires contentWindow.document.
If you use the window.frames[] syntax, you can just use document.

Why JavaScript comes up with two flavors?
No, JavaScript doesn't come with two flavours. Browsers sometimes choose not to implement standards which is where things go wrong and, more often than not, it's IE which is the culprit. There are parts of JavaScript where there are no standards at present. In that case, browsers have to come to some sort of agreement on naming, behaviour, etc.
Edit: did you mean the two different types of syntax?

Sorry you didn't get me ... ;)
Suppose this is my code .. -
<iframe name='_name' id='_id' ... ></iframe>
-
Now i am accessing the document object of IFrame ... -
var doc = document.getElementById('_id').contentDocument; //Mozilla
-
var doc = document.getElementById('_id').contentWindow.document //IE
-
var doc = window.frames['_name'].document; //both
-
Now my question is ..that document.getElementById('_id') and window.frames['_name'] refers the same object ..i mean the iIFrame window.
For one case contentDocument or contentWindow.document and for another case it is cimply document ..why?
This is my question ?
I think you get my question ... ;)
This link will explain. It boils down to whether it's a frame or an object. The first syntax is used for an object while the second for a frame.
