I want to pass a message from iframe to parent page in every few seconds like:
Iframe Domain = www.abc.com
Parent Domain = www.xyz.com
Have check with:
- Cross domain iframe issue
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5203741/jquery-cross-iframe-script-loading-ownerdocument-issue
Can someone help me on it?
I just recently helped another person with a very similar concern, passing messages between IFrames. (see Issues with Cross Document Messaging between IFrame & Parent).
Using a modified version of the code that I am borrowing from suamikim in that aforementioned topic, I have integrated a timer. This should serve as a good starting point for you. These parent and child html pages will work cross-domain just as described in the comments above by Amadan. I just tested and confirmed it, by placing parent.html on one domain, which pointed to child.html on a totally separate untrusted domain.
parent.html
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function parentInitialize() {
var count = 0;
window.addEventListener('message', function (e) {
// Check message origin etc...
if (e.data.type === 'iFrameRequest') {
var obj = {
type: 'parentResponse',
responseData: 'Response #' + count++
};
e.source.postMessage(obj, '*');
}
// ...
})
}
</script>
</head>
<body style="background-color: rgb(72, 222, 218);" onload="javascript: parentInitialize();">
<iframe src="child.html" style="width: 500px; height:350px;"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
child.html
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function childInitialize() {
// ...
try {
if (window.self === window.top) {
// We're not inside an IFrame, don't do anything...
return;
}
} catch (e) {
// Browsers can block access to window.top due to same origin policy.
// See https://stackoverflow.com/a/326076
// If this happens, we are inside an IFrame...
}
function messageHandler(e) {
if (e.data && (e.data.type === 'parentResponse')) {
// Do some stuff with the sent data
var obj = document.getElementById("status");
obj.value = e.data.responseData;
}
}
window.addEventListener('message', messageHandler, false);
setInterval(function () {
window.parent.postMessage({ type: 'iFrameRequest' }, '*');
}, 1000);
// ...
}
</script>
</head>
<body style="background-color: rgb(0, 148, 255);" onload="javascript: childInitialize();">
<textarea type="text" style="width:400px; height:250px;" id="status" />
</body>
</html>
Good luck!
