Topic awaiting preservation: Accessibility between domains (Page 1 of 1)

Hi.

My problem related to access violation error.
I have a page where the user may type any URL, then the user press a button and I open a new window for the URL just entered.
I need to know if the page just opend is a frameset or a simple page, If it is a frameset I need to know all the child frames URL's.
Can I get this info and how?
I wrote something like the following code:
var strUrl = <Given valid URL>;
var oWin = window.open(strUrl);
if( oWin.frames.length > 0){
for(var i=0; i<oWin.frames.length; i++){
alert(oWin.frames[i].src);
}
}

All what I'm getting is alerts with "undefined" message.

Thanks in advanced

You can't access pages from outside your domain, even though the page might be in a child window of your page.

Unfortunately afaik this can't be done.

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

Correction: in iexplore the default is set to "ask the user if it happens"

What if in both pages I will use the same domain ?
I can write document.domain = "Mydomain" in both pages.

You can of course try it but I doubt it would work. I'd assume that the browser doesn't parse the page in question before denying access.

(GRUMBLE on my IE6 WinXP version it's default is deny)

The domain of a page isn't a variable. It's the place where the page actually is. For instance, all the pages on this forum are under the "ozoneasylum.com" domain. www.slimeland.com/winsim is under the slimeland.com domain. You can't change the domain of a page without actually changing it's location.

So, you can't really get the URL of a page that the user went to. The reason is simple: say a user went to "www.freenudepics.com" or a page within their company's intranet or something of the sort. That's their own business, and they need to trust their browser to keep that information private.

I found that I can reduce a part of the server domain for example:
If the 2 servers in the following domain aaa.xyz.com and bbb.xyz.com I can write in both pages (of 2 different servers) the followin code:
<script language="JavaScript">document.domain="xyz.com"</script>
and then access to each other, Or to add it only in the child window code and access it from the wrapper window.
