[WSG] Need to access parent content from iframe
Hi, In my website, I have a requirement like the iframe js should access the form fields of parent window. I tried with window.parent.document.forms, but it is not working. Is there any possibility to access the parent window content from iframe js? p.s. The iframe and parent window are different domain. The js file resides in iframe. Thanks!

if both the page are in different domain and if your owning both page then you can add below line in the top of your both page window.domain=yourdomainname; On Tue, Apr 5, 2011 at 4:09 PM, Mahendran Venkatesan venkatesan.mahend...@gmail.com wrote: yes! 2011/4/5 Elankeeran / இளங்கீரன் V ekee...@gmail.com its your iframe url and parent window in same window?

Re: [WSG] Need to access parent content from iframe
hi David, Thanks for sharing! I thought the policy is applicable only for accessing the content from parent window to iframe. So, the access permission in both ways is not possible.

So you shouldn't be able to do that. However, Mozilla will let you set it to a superdomain of the current value, constrained by its base domain. For example, on developer.mozilla.org it is possible to set it to mozilla.org but not mozilla.com or org. So you can, but only in non-standard and very limited ways. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
RE: [WSG] Need to access parent content from iframe
You could implement this using cross-document messaging (http://dev.w3.org/html5/postmsg/). I'm not sure how many browsers support it though.
