You don't.

I've updated the spec to check the document's active state, not the 
browsing context presence. Also for <area>.click(), <input 
type=image>.click(), <input type=submit>.click(), <input 
type=reset>.click(), and <button>.click(), and for <menuitem>s that point 
to those elements. Let me know if I missed anything.
