Javascript permission denied

[TimSki]

Hi,

I have an iframe on my page which calls an external website. When the page loads in firefox i see a 'Error: Permission denied to call method Location.toString' in the error console but the page loads nevertheless. I'm assuming therefore this error is 'handled' somehow.

In IE7, the page starts to load in the IFRAME and then at the point the same 'Error: Permission denied to call method Location.toString' is detected the page fails to load.

Since FF handles this well, my question is is there anyway to handle this in IE ?

Thanks in advance

where is the location.toString() called? could you show the code please? ... i think fixing the issue will be much better then let it be an error ... so lets fix it for FF and see whether it will work fot IE too ...

kind regards

thanks for the reply. the problem is that error is on the page within the iframe - ie. a page outside of my control. the page within the iframe is http://www.vivastreet.fr/ if that helps. on its own the page loads fine. i'm guessing that some javascript on http://www.vivastreet.fr/ calls a parent property (or something) but since my page is now the parent there is a cross domain issue which throws the error - only theory though. as i say ff (and chrome) handles this fine but IE cannot

as far as i could see ... when i use a plain page and load the page in question to an iframe i get an error from the script epl-41.js ... which seems to be an adware-script to handle some site-ads? ... in case a script from that page itself throws the error and breaks the loading in IE or another browser ... then i think it cannot be fixed with javascript due to the cross-domain restrictions. you might try to proxy the page serverside and serve it from your domain ... in case it would be worth the effort ... otherwise just open a new window and don't use a frame ...

kind regards

i do need to use a frame unfortunately. what intrigues me is how ff and chrome are able to handle this problem. if i could figure out how they do that i might be able to apply it to IE.

i doubt that this could be done ... even when some browsers don't handle that error as fatal, others might do so ... don't know much about the crappy IE ... but in this case i guess it is right ... since it stops by the error. to have that fixed the script in the page that is to be loaded should be fixed to avoid the error ... which basicly means that the page should be made 'frameable'. It might be that the original owner of that page might help here or even don't want to have its page loaded in frames ...

kind regards
