hiding (not closing) an Iframe from self

I want to be able to hide an iframe but I need to be able to activate
this from the iframe itself.

This works most of the time but I it runs into issue when the domains
don't exactly match I get the following error in Firefox:

Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get propert
HTMLIFrameEleme nt.style

I have tried:

document.defaul tView.frameElem ent.style.displ ay = 'none';

and

parent.document .getElementById ('theIframeElem ent').style.dis play='none';

Is there a work around?

Well if the <iframe> element is in a document loaded from a different
origin then indeed the document in the iframe can't access or manipulate
stuff in the parent document. That is the same origin policy.

The only solution the same origin policy allows is if you have e.g. one
document from host1.example.c om and one from host2.example.c om, then you
can set
document.domain = 'example.com'
in both documents before trying any cross document access.

Hi all, I'm wodering how the information hiding in python is ment. As I understand there doesn't exist public / protected / private mechanism, but a '_' and '__' naming convention. As I figured out there is only public and private possible as speakin in "C++ manner". Are you all happy with it. What does "the zen of python" say to that design? (protected is useless?)

Hi, first, python is one of my fav languages, and i'll definitely keep developing with it. But, there's 1 one thing what I -really- miss: data hiding. I know member vars are private when you prefix them with 2 underscores, but I hate prefixing my vars, I'd rather add a keyword before it. Python advertises himself as a full OOP language, but why does it miss one of the basic principles of OOP? Will it ever be added to python?

Okay, here's the situation: we want to be able to display ASPX pages in an UpdatePanel. The reasons for this are performance related. The site in development uses *lots* of modal popups from some pages, and we don't want to load all that content until it's requested. So, what we want to do is place an IFRAME inside an UpdatePanel and, in the onclick event for the linkbutton or button control, set the SRC so that the content is loaded on...
