Can't replace the body element in IE.

I have been trying to dynamically push a page to frameset with the following code:

No frames page can be hosted on the pages source domain
No external domain is permitted to host a frameset either from this site.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 function enframe(topURL, bottomURL){

    var topFrame = document.createElement("FRAME");

    topFrame.name = "topFrame";

    topFrame.src = topURL;
 
    var  bottomFrame = document.createElement("FRAME");

    bottomFrame.name = "bottomFrame";

    bottomFrame.src = bottomURL;
 
    var frameset = document.createElement("FRAMESET");

    frameset.rows = "205,*";

    frameset.cols = "*";

    frameset.frameborder="no";

    frameset.framespacing="0";

    frameset.border="0";

    document.body = frameset;

    frameset.appendChild(topFrame);

    frameset.appendChild(bottomFrame);

}

IE chokes on this code with a "htmlpage: Member not found" error while firefox is happy as a clam.

This yields two questions:

Is IE document.body parameter read-only?
What can be done in IE to replace the HTMLBodyElement with a FRAMESET element in a loaded document?

Any ideas?

The only way I can think of doing it is by determining if the browser is IE or another and using document.write if it is IE:

<body>
<script language="javascript">
function enframe(topURL, bottomURL){
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"){document.write("<frameset rows='205,*' cols='*' frameborder='no' framespacing='0' border='0'><frame name='topFrame' src="+topURL+"><frame name='bottomFrame' src="+bottomURL+"></frameset>");}
else

var topFrame = document.createElement("FRAME");
topFrame.name = "topFrame";
topFrame.src = topURL;

var bottomFrame = document.createElement("FRAME");
bottomFrame.name = "bottomFrame";
bottomFrame.src = bottomURL;

var frameset = document.createElement("FRAMESET");
frameset.rows = "205,*";
frameset.cols = "*";
frameset.frameborder="no";
frameset.framespacing="0";
frameset.border="0";
document.body= frameset;
frameset.appendChild(topFrame);
frameset.appendChild(bottomFrame);

}

</script>

<a href="javascript:enframe('http://www.google.com','http://www.yahoo.com')">Go To Frame</a>
</body>
