Question

How do you use window.postMessage across domains?

Answer 1

+1 A:

Here is an example that works on Chrome 5.0.375.125.

The page B (iframe content):

<html>
    <head></head>
    <body>
        <script>
            top.postMessage('hello', 'A');
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

Note the use of top.postMessage or parent.postMessage not window.postMessage here

The page A:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
    <iframe src="B"></iframe>
    <script>
        window.addEventListener( "message",
          function (e) {
                if(e.origin !== 'B'){ return; } 
                alert(e.data);
          },
          false);
    </script>
</body>
</html>

A and B must be something like http://domain.com
