It sounds like you're running into a cross-domain issue. Because the page loaded in your IFrame is hosted on a different domain than the containing page, the browser won't let you call certain methods or set certain properties on the containing window -- you'll get a "Permission denied" error instead.
In general, building a client-side OpenSocial application in this way is a losing strategy -- even if you can get owner and friend information into the IFrame at load time, your application won't be able to post activities in response to a user action or otherwise interface with the OpenSocial API, defeating the purpose of building a social application in the first place. I suggest waiting for the REST- based API (which is coming with support for OpenSocial 0.8) or implementing your server-side business logic in JavaScript (e.g. random friend selection) -- your server can still come in handy if you need to store information in or retrieve information from your database, which you can do a call to the client-side gadgets.io.makeRequest method. Let me know if you have any other questions. - Jason On Jun 23, 6:24 am, krishna chaitanya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > > Issue: > ==== > Not able to execute a javascript method from serverside code. > > window.parent.executeMethod() > > or > > top.executeMethod() > > in the server side code is returning permission denied error.
