Cross sub domain iframes and JavaScript

I am working on a CMS site whose domain is:

http://www.acmssite.com

They have a sub-domain where they store a form system:

http://www.forms.acmssite.com

I have an iframe on the first that looks at a form in the latter.

I need to run scripts to manipulate the latter from the former and was wondering is this possible?

回答1:

In order for this to not be restricted by the same origin policy, you will probably need to do this in both the pages:

document.domain = "acmssite.com";

回答2:

Yes it is.

var iframe = document.getElementById("your-iframes-id").contentWindow.document;

You can still bypass this issue with the help of YQL even though you don't have access to the header part of the receiving window. With the Postmessage method also you need to edit the recipient window script. But using this method you can load any iframe without touching their scripts. Check this out! jsfiddle-link

<html>
<iframe src="https://google.com/" width="500" height="300"></iframe>

<script>
var iframe = document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0];
var url = iframe.src;
var getData = function (data) {
    if (data && data.query && data.query.results && data.query.results.resources && data.query.results.resources.content && data.query.results.resources.status == 200) loadHTML(data.query.results.resources.content);
    else if (data && data.error && data.error.description) loadHTML(data.error.description);
    else loadHTML('Error: Cannot load ' + url);
};
var loadURL = function (src) {
    url = src;
    var script = document.createElement('script');
    script.src = 'https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20data.headers%20where%20url%3D%22' + encodeURIComponent(url) + '%22&format=json&diagnostics=true&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys&callback=getData';
    document.body.appendChild(script);
};
var loadHTML = function (html) {
    iframe.src = 'about:blank';
    iframe.contentWindow.document.open();
    iframe.contentWindow.document.write(html.replace(/<head>/i, '<head><base href="' + url + '"><scr' + 'ipt>document.addEventListener("click", function(e) { if(e.target && e.target.nodeName == "A") { e.preventDefault(); parent.loadURL(e.target.href); } });</scr' + 'ipt>'));
    iframe.contentWindow.document.close();
}

loadURL(iframe.src);
</script>
