Iframes and getting their current URL within Subdomain

[RyanRitten]

Hey all,

Quick question. My website is :

http://mywebsite:1234

and I load into an IFRAME this url :

http://anotherwebsite:2828

As you might have noticed they are both on the same domain (just not
fully qualified (ie. http://mywebsite.dmianname.com:1234)).

How do i access the URL of the IFRAME? I keep getting access denied.
I know I can't read the url of an IFRAME if the domains are
different... but in this case aren't they the same?

Thanks for any advice you can give.

The SOP does not consider DNS resolution. You have to use FQDNs instead,
and set document.domain appropriately. Alternatively, you may use
server-side URL rewrite so that it appears to the client that both resources
are from the same domain.
