Hello @ all

While writing my thesis about security in web2.0 i have implemented the Module-Tag from Douglas Crockford. It enables a site to communicate with embedded widgets while preventing the widget from manipulating the site.

In order to make some use of this Firefox-Extension, i published the code at [addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/10090]. This extension works with frames, because of the use of the Same-Origin-Policy to separate site and widget from each other. An interface provides the functionality to send messages from the site to the widget and backwards.

The goal is to discuss the Module-Tag and its usefulness to modern web security especially while using widgets.

I would like to ask for opinions about the Module-Tag and my implementation of it. I couldn't find any alternative extensions or projects with the same security service,so i think this will be a very useful one to everybody.
