Argh! Calling parent functions from a page within an iframe

Hi everyone,

This is currently getting me pulling my hair out. I want to be able to call a function on a page from a page within an iframe on that page. e.g.:

Parent document (siteX.com):



And then on page_y this code should work:



The problem is, this works when both pages are part of the same site, but not when page_y is on a different site than the one that places it in an iframe.

Any help!?

I don't think this is possible when the document is on a different site. This came up in a different thread a while back. After some research we came across a document at Microsoft that explains that cross-frame scripting between domains in not allowed for security reasons.

The article is here:

Hey RichB,

Thanks for the thread, I had a hunch it wasn't possible
