http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net error 1

[sbogde]

Hello,


Please take a look at

http://dev.wanderthewest.com/test2_good.html

Each of the left links

link 1
link 2
link 3
link 4
link 5

simply calls the my_ext_func() JS function (defined in a different IFRAME!).

so far, so good.

now please also open

http://dev.wanderthewest.com/test2_bad.html

"link 1" here for example shows in my FF the following error:
Error: Permission denied for <

http://dev.wanderthewest.com>

to get property Window.my_ext_func from <

http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net>.

Source File:

http://dev.wanderthewest.com/test2_bad.html

Line: 31

and similar ones for
link 2
link 3
link 4
link 5

now, what is the difference between test2_bad.html and test2_good.html ?

test2_bad.html simply has the ADSENSE code on top of the google map.

please look again at the error returned in FF:
Permission denied for <

http://dev.wanderthewest.com>

to get property Window.my_ext_func from <

http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net>.

in other words

http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net

doesn't like the fact that I am trying to call a function from another IFRAME (Window.my_ext_func).


Do you have any idea how to fix this? I really must use some links that call a JS function defined in a different IFRAME.

Thanks a lot again for your time.

Using Fx 3.0.17, if I visit

http://dev.wanderthewest.com/test2_bad.html

and click on link 1, I see an alert with "id = 1". I do not see any JS errors at all.

Perhaps you've already fixed the problem?

Ooops... I had Adblock turned on so had no ads, and thus no error.

I suspect the error is because when you have the ads enabled, frame[0] points to Google's iframe, and your script is not there. Instead of using an arbitrary number to refer to your iframe (which could change, as you've now seen), why not give the frame a name / id and refer to it using that instead.

That would be a much more "future-proof" (and generally better) way of doing things.

Hi, Dan!

That was the problem indeed!

I cannot believe I've done such a stupid mistake!

Thanks a lot for your help, Dan!
