Cross Domain JavaScript, issue with parent.window.location.hash on chrome and safari

Question

Hi All,

I am working on Cross Domain JavaScript technique called "Fragment Id Messaging".

M using parent.window.location.hash for attaching "#" to window location from inside iframe. This is working fine with firefox but not working on chrome and safari.

any idea? solution?

Safari will throw an error if you attempt to change a parent frame's location. I'm guessing that Chrome does the same. Most likely for security reasons.
