IE Fun Part 2

scriptkitty · May 31, 2005

While testing out the new COM/OBJ functions I ran into some issues.

Basically IFrames are a problem for scripting many times. Many sites will set up thier Iframes with the wrong settings due to domain name restrictions.

Example, Hotmail.com is owned by microsoft, and it forwards the iframes to

passport.net. This is a problem scripting because IE had a problem in security and thier fix was to restrict the parent from accessing the child objects if not the same domain.

Navigating and scripting in frames can be a bit tricky, so hopefully this will aid you in your adventures.

I targeted the starting page to passport.net so that you could see that iframes are supported when done from the same url.

This is a huge restriction because even www.microsoft.com and microsoft.com are technically different (there is a document.domain setting that allows pages in the same domain to work, but has to be set on all pages and sub pages.)

I made this little gui so that you could explore sites and see the HTML of frames and Iframes. You will notice that when you are on a site that has the proper use of IFrames and Frames, you can see the main, and up to 4 child frame HTML.

Use the update button, or press the pause key to update the GUI after you change sites.

Ok, continuing my examples for the new OBJ and IE. Here is some UDF you might find handy.

If nothing else, you can use as references to make your own.

for simplicity and easy of use, I use a global IE object of $ObjIE

hope you find it helpful

sidenote: Was just fooling around to make an old laptop into a walltop

and thought, why not IE?.
