Permission denied for child window, even though using same domain

[boudrcj]

I'm having problems accessing elements of a child window even though both pages are in the same domain. The code works find if the two pages are from the same server, but not when I put them on different servers. I'm making sure to refer to both server names by the full name: "server1.company.intra" and "server2.company.intra" which I thought was in the same domain.

Is there anything else that might get in the way of these servers being in the "same domain"?

Thanks for you help,

Sorry, what is being described will not work. The two servers have different domain names. Having the same root domain does not matter. Browsers can not allow elements to be modified by a resource from another domain. It would allow cross site scripting vulnerabilities.

Try setting document.domain.

Thanks, I totally forgot about that setting. I'd used it once before in a project back in 2001 -- which is why I knew this was supposed to work.
