bridge cross-domain iframe

[hugobossv8]

Hello,

I need to resize an iframe based on content. Problem is that the content of the iframe is not in same domain as parent page. So I get the permission denied message.

I would like to place some bridge file or policy file of some sort that allows access to the iframe, like so:

domain1.com (the iframe will sit on a page in domain1 that opens a page in domain2)
domain2.com (a policy file or bridge file will be installed here that lets domain1 have access to domain2)

I know it can be done because it is described on this link:

http://www.doubleclick.com/us/produ...art_motif/resources/motif_iframe_solution.pdf

but I'm not sure how they did it. Anyone have any ideas? Or can anyone point me to a reference where I can learn how to do this?

Check out the "document.domain" property. More info can be found here:

It could be just what you're after.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Thanks, this is close to what I'm looking for but not the answer. The domain suffixes are different and it says on the link you sent that:

"Furthermore, this property cannot be used to allow cross-frame communication among frames with different domain suffixes. For example, a page in one frame from

http://www.microsoft.com

and a page in another frame from

http://www.msn.com

would not be able to communicate with each other even if the domain property of both pages was set to the suffix "microsoft.com".

So, document.domain can only be used in a case where you have something like:

http://www.microsoft.com

and home.microsoft.com
