Getting the reference to the inner window ntentWindow – that’s allowed.

While these pop-up windows are quite annoying to users when you use. I am using a page which have a master page and content place holder.

The code above shows errors for any operations except: One of the more common uses of the Window object is to open new windows or pop-ups. how to make a popup opened using 'Window.open' appear as Modal,just like showmodaldialog.I can use showmodal dialog.beacuse i have some functionality using 'Window.opener'.If I use showmodal dialog above mentioned line will give and my functionality will not work. Iframe.onload = null // clear the handler, not to run it after the location change If the user clicks 'Cancel' the box returns null. If the user clicks 'OK' the box returns the input value.

When a prompt box pops up, the user will have to click either 'OK' or 'Cancel' to proceed after entering an input value. we can WRITE into location (and thus load something else into the iframe)! A prompt box is often used if you want the user to input a value before entering a page. To implement a modal popup, I suggest you to take a look at jQuery and SimpleModal, which is really slick. Can't read URL from the Location object That solution will open up a new browser window without the normal features such as address bar and similar.

also we can't READ the URL of the page in iframe Let doc = ntentDocument // ERRORĪlert(e) // Security Error (another origin) we can get the reference to the inner window If that’s not so then the access is denied (writing to location is an exception, it’s still permitted).įor instance, let’s try reading and writing to from another origin: It can be applied for manipulating its properties, changing the location, and. When we access something inside the embedded window, the browser checks if the iframe has the same origin. The call open returns a reference to the new window. ntentDocument to get the document inside the, shorthand for.ntentWindow to get the window inside the.But we cannot read location (so we can’t see where the user is now, no information leak).Īn tag hosts a separate embedded window, with its own separate document and window objects. The only exception is location: we can change it (thus redirecting the user). otherwise, if it comes from another origin, then we can’t access the content of that window: variables, document, anything.

a popup created by window.open or a window inside, and that window comes from the same origin, then we have full access to that window.

if we have a reference to another window, e.g.

Two URLs are said to have the “same origin” if they have the same protocol, domain and port. The alert method displays messages that don’t require the user to enter a response. There are three different kinds of popup methods used in JavaScript: window.alert(), nfirm() and window.prompt(). JavaScript has three kind of popup boxes: Alert box, Confirm box, and Prompt box.

So, the purpose of the “Same Origin” policy is to protect users from information theft. Popup boxes prevent the user from accessing other aspects of a program until the popup is closed, so they should not be overused. The idea is that if a user has two pages open: one from, and another one is, then they wouldn’t want a script from to read our mail from. The “Same Origin” (same site) policy limits access of windows and frames to each other.
