Is there ANY way to get the URL of an iframe if the page the user is on is an external domain? I know this is normally blocked by the "Same Origin Policy", but I'm just trying to find out if there is SOME workaround. All I'm trying to get is the URL.
I am trying to get an iframe to have dynamic height - I want it to resize to fit the contents of the page.There is a four or five step process within the iframe. So for example, page 1 is rather short, and it'll have a link that sends you to page 2, which might be rather long.I have no control over the pages I am using in the iframe and they are on another domain.I have googled and and searched the forum and I've yet to find anything that works. A lot of them say they're not cross-browser compatible, but I haven't gotten anything to work how I'd like in any browser.I'd like to do it without jQuery.
I'm using lytebox to open an iframe, but the iframe url is in another domain that the parent window. i need to close the iframe when user clicks a button. I can do that with javascript : top.$lb.end(); the $lb.end(); starts lytebox scripts in parent window which close the iframe and modify all the css stuff. That works when my iframe url is in the same domain. But when it's in another domain, that does'nt work.
Is there any any ANY workaround for getting highlighted text in an iframe that is displaying a different server's site (like google for example) and storing it in a variable?I know about the Same Origin Policy, but come on. This is just highlighting text. Why can't we highlight text in an iframe?! It's the same as copy and paste, just quicker.
JavaScript code is not traversing via Iframe with Cross Domain. Actually i was assigned with a project, to grab the top page URL, which has many Iframes, which are coming from different domains. The final sub domain has the JavaScript code, which has to grab the top page URL.
I'm using some javascript that senses the presence of an id on a page, creates an iframe containing cross domain content if it finds it and also resizes the iframe. It works great in FF, but IE stumbles if there's more than one iframe requested (especially IE6). If someone knows a better way to get IE to co-operate with this set up An acceptable alternative would be to only create one iframe at a time (which IE can handle), by using a link to trigger the iframe creation. I just can't figure out how to get that to work.The cross domain resizer uses the frame manager trick, the rest is homespun.
i am trying to resize an iframe which is not in same domain.I tried couple of ways as below: iam loading an html which is in other domain.I kept this syntax in script
function toBeCalledOnChildHTMLLoad() { parent.document.getElementById("ifameId").height = calculatedHeight; }
Still it is not working..Please suggest if u have any solutions on this.
I'm currently developing an application (in php) for a website that is to be integrated into their website using iframe. It's imperative that it's done using iframe as I am placing the application on my own server. In short, the iframe element appears on my customer's website (lets say customer.com) - something like this:
However, it's quite imperative that my application (i.e. what's located at myserver.com/index.php) only can be shown in iframe elements placed at customer.com. That is: I want to make sure that a similar iframe element from another web server (lets say anothercompany.com) has the possibility to iframe my application located at myserver.com.
My first idea was to check this using php in my application: by looking at HTTP_REFERER, I can get the location of the page containing the iframe element. That solution seems to work fine. However, as is well known, it is possible to spoof and even hide the http_referer server variable. Still, as I only want to make sure that no other server accesses the application through an iframe object, it should perhaps be an okay solution - if someone wants to access the application from their own browser, and spoofing the HTTP_REFERER variable, I'm fine with that. (I just want to make sure that only customer.com, and not anothercompany.com, can integrate the application with an iframe).
The other thought I had was to use javascript and DOM stuff. The idea is then to use javascript to check that the application has a parent frame and that its location is at customer.com. However, as we are dealing with two different domains here, I'm having a lot of problems getting the document.parent.location variable - it's not allowed!
Any solutions on how to do this in javascript? Any way to bypass the obstacle above? Or perhaps javascript isn't the best way? My guess is that there is a solution out there somewhere - I guess there are a lot of ads that are integrated into various websites using iframe, and where the actual content (i.e. what's inside the iframe element) can check which server is embedding the ad through an iframe element.
I have need to communicate between two iframes of the same domain, which live inside a parent page on a different domain that I have no control over. This is a Facebook app and the basic layout is this
apps.facebook.com/myapp L iframe1 (src='mysite.com/foo') L iframe2 (src='mysite.com/bar')
I need frame1 to talk to frame2, but in Opera I can't access window.parent. frames['frame2'] to do the usual cross-domain methods (updating location.hash for example) Is there an alternate way to accomplish this in Opera?
I'm displaying 2 iframes on a page with content from other pages on the same domain. I'm using jQuery to apply a stylesheet to the 2 iframes by appending it to the head.
I have an IFrame whose document is created completely by Javascript code at runtime. The document in the IFrame accesses Javascript functions in the top level document. This works fine most of the time. But every now and then, when I hit the back button, the browser suddenly thinks the Javascript created document in the IFrame is not from the same domain as the topmost document, and therefore I start getting "permission denied" errors when I try to access the top level document's Javascript functions.
If I look at the IFrame document's properties (Mozilla->This Frame->View Info), it shows the expected URL with a domain name that matches the top level document.
I'm writing a web page, which should interact with pages on another server using an iFrame. I want to use a form on the parent page to post to the URL on the iFrame and capture the response, without reloading the parent page.
Here are the details:I have a FORM on the parent JSP page, with some session data in hidden fields. The point to note is that the whole session data is on the client side, in encrypted form. This data should be posted to the server for each request, synchronous or asynchronous.Now, I need to call an application on a server on a different domain. For this purpose, I am using an iFrame. The session data in the parent page should also be passed to the application in the iFrame.
function alertfunc() { sometext = window.frames['alertiframe'].document.all.tags['to'][0].innerHTML; alert(sometext); }
</script>
<a href="javascript:alertfunc()">Click Me</a>
I am working with an older browser more of MAC IE. It works with DOM 1 and extremely partially with DOM 2. contentDocument and contentWindow does not work on this browser.
The above code works very nicely, however as soon as I rename the file to "xmlsample.xml" with an xml extension, it does not work anywork. If you have any other solutions please let me know. Rem we can't use any newer techniques, this is very basic DOM.
Is it possible to capture the domain change event OR domain of the target site in javascript? To elaborate, suppose I am on my site (www.mydomain.com) and if I type www.someotherdomain.com in the address bar, I want to capture the target URL/domain i.e. someotherdomain.com in the javascript code of my site (mydomain.com). I am trying to call sign-off function of my site upon customer navigation to some other site without loggin off. I can not use body/window onUnload function because I have a common layout JSP that would be reloaded for each and every page. So I am trying to capture the URL/domain of target site and check if it is different from teh current domain; Then only I will call my sign-off function to kill the customer session.
If I try to put a site into an iframe that has "escape frame" code in its source (posted below), it will reload the requested page into the parent instead of the iframe. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
One could use onunload to stop the redirection, but I would like to find a way to load a page into an iframe, even if it has this type of code.
I have considered server code loading the content and re-displaying it but I would like to find a pre javascript solution.
//this is not my code if (self != top) { if (document.images) { top.location.replace(window.location.href); } else { top.location.href = window.location.href; } }
I want to open All external link, in iframe with the help of javascript. For E.g, My site is www.domain.com and I have made few post where it contains few external link, so, rather than opening the link in new window or in new tab or in parent page, i want to open link in iframe.
Is there any way to resize an iframe dynamically to the height of its content that works cross browser and works when the iframe content is on another domain than the main page (I have access to both pages, so code can be put in either) Also, it must resize when links in the iframe are clicked (ie when a new page within the iframe is loaded)
