6 * @fileoverview Tools for interframe communication. To use this class, every
7 * window that wants to communicate with its child iframes should enumerate
8 * them using document.getElementsByTagName('iframe'), create an ID to
9 * associate with that iframe, then call cvox.Interframe.sendIdToIFrame
10 * on each of them. Then use cvox.Interframe.sendMessageToIFrame to send
11 * messages to that iframe and cvox.Interframe.addListener to receive
12 * replies. When a reply is received, it will automatically contain the ID of
13 * that iframe as a parameter.
