This link calls the same function as clicking the checkbox to the left. However, this link always works, but clicking the checkbox to the left doesn't always work.
First click on the link in the iframe. Dismiss alerts, which are just for debugging purposes. Next, click on the checkbox in the main page (not the link). Repeat this process, clicking the iframe link, then the main page checkbox, until then you will probably see a javascript error that the "selectFunction is not defined". However, if you click on the link in the main page, you will see that the selectFunction is found, so it must exist. It seems like the DOM connection between the checkbox and its Javascript handler is getting lost. Refresh the browser to start over. Note: If I comment out the javascript which copies the node from the from the iframe to the main page, then I don't get an error.
