I am trying to communicate between a child iframe and its parent using the following plugin:
http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-postmessage-plugin/
I can follow the example and post a message from the child to the parent but not the other way and i really need to be able to communicate both ways.
The code on the parent is as follows:
var origin = document.location.protocol + '//' + document.location.host,
src = origin + '/Custom/Ui/Baseline/html/iframe-data-cash.htm#' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href);
$(function () {
var $holder = $('#iframe'),
height,
$iframe = $('<iframe src="' + src + '" id="data-cash-iframe" width="100%" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" seamless="seamless" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"></iframe>');
// append iframe to DOM
$holder.append($iframe);
});
$(window).load(function () {
$.postMessage(
'hello world',
src,
parent.document.getElementById('data-cash-iframe').contentWindow
);
});
And the code on the child is as follows:
$(function () {
var parentURL = decodeURIComponent(document.location.hash.replace(/^#/, ''));
$.receiveMessage(
function (e) {
alert(e.data);
},
parentURL
);
});
I really cannot see why this is not working and am in desperate need of help!
