postMessage into object tag

Question

I am trying to get the html inside an object respond to my postMessage, but I am unable to get the referencing correct.

I've tried

var object = $("#test_object").get(0).contentWindow;
object.postMessage("run","*");

which works for iframe.

But as i am determined to use the object tag. Is there a way to pass the postMessage through?

Answer 1

No, postMessage works only for iframes and windows/tabs.
