I'm getting an Access Denied or Permission Denied error.

What I'm doing:
Iframe.cfm is located at this has an Iframe tag:
<iframe.... src="
Default.cfm is located at This is the src for the iframe.

Once default.cfm loads it tries to resize the height of the iframe. When Iframe.cfm is on the same domain, this works fine. When its on a different domain, this doesn't work. Is there anything I can do about this?
 
You are asking if there is a way that a script from another website can alter the appearance of your website hosted on your own website.

The answer is, of course, no. This is to prevent cross site scripting. It's purely a security restriction present in all the modern browsers. The solution might be to use a proxy (server-side on your domain) to request the src of the iframe from.

Cheers,
Jeff
