Permission Denied IE iFrame

Question

Hi Guys,

I have a site on A.com and an iframe on B.com which calls javascript from A.com. This works great in FF. In IE7 / 8 I am getting a

Message: Access is denied.

message. I have checked the HTTP Traffic via Fiddler - and I can see that it isn't blocked in Fiddler ?

Any ideas what could be causing this and how to solve?

Answer 1

An embedded iframe cant, ever acces the parent frame. An example of exacly how this works would be welcome.

Answer 2

If both the pages are under your control (i.e. they belong to you and you cn alter the code), try this -

http://www.tomhoppe.com/index.php/2008/03/cross-sub-domain-javascript-ajax-iframe-etc/

Set document.domain like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.domain = 'tomhoppe.com';
</script>
