Better late than never?

provider/consumer is the nomenclature for iframe/host, so the parent will always be the consumer, and the iframe will always be the provider.

easyXDM is fully bidirectional, so as long as you have code running in both windows, you can expose/call methods in any direction. See the RPC examples for more on this.

Hi Sean,

Thank you for this great tool.

Is it possible for an to invoke methods in the parent window with easyXDM?

The parent window would be the provider and the iframe the consumer.

Hi Sean, I am having problems connecting the provider to the consumer and re-sizing the iframe. I keep getting the same error “Uncaught Error: url is undefined or empty” when I log on console. Can you help me

**** snippet for consumer ****

new easyXDM.Socket({

remote: “http://provider.easyxdm.net/example/resized_iframe.html”,

container: document.getElementById(“iframe-container”),

onMessage: function(message, origin){

this.container.getElementsByTagName(“iframe”)[0].style.height = message + “px”;

}

});

**** snippet for provider (Iframe) *****

var socket = new easyXDM.Socket({

onReady: function(){

socket.postMessage(document.body.scrollHeight);

}

});

Is it possible to get dynamic content from created hidden iframe by using easyXDM?

I tried to fetch the xhr data by jquery, jsonp callback. but the value is not in json type.

What are your recommendations,?

When I try this out and load the provider page alone I get an error that says: Uncaught Error: url is undefined or empty

Anyone know why this is happening? I am just testing both on localhost with different paths and I am getting the contents of the provider inside the consumer iframe when I load the consumer, but should the provider be erroring out? If not can I get some help?

thanks

Does code in the onMessage handler have access to the DOM of the receiver?

It doesn’t seem to be working, although alert(‘got here’) messages work fine.

I’m having the same issue. I always see the alert, but the DOM changes don’t happen. I’ve tried using Firebug and Internet Explorer’s F12 breakpoints, and the breakpoints aren’t fired when the function is called from the onMessage signal, but they are when called directly with a click event. ie. javascript:doSomeDomChanges();
