1) open src.html (allegated) in firefox. Both with a text editor or with firefox's source viewer, you can see the source HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
	<title></title>
</head>

<body>
	<form action="">
		<input type="button" OnClick="parent.frame1.location='source.html?a=1&amp;b=2'">
	</form>
</body>

</html>


2) in Firefox, do File-> Save as, and name it dst.html (allegated, too). Open it with a text viewer. It's been changed, and it's no more valid HTML (&amp; has been substituted with &, among the other things):

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html><head>
	<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"><title></title></head>

<body>
	<form action="">
		<input onclick="parent.frame1.location='source.html?a=1&b=2'" type="button">
	</form>
</body></html>

Confirmed, it does the same thing on mozilla-firefox-1.0
