I'm not using it myself anymore but may do a new revision if there's demand for it. Since I wrote this plugin, a new HTML5 feature has been developed that would actually make this even easier: the postMessage API (link here). However I don't know how well this feature is supported in older browsers like IE7 or IE8. I would rewrite my plugin to use the postMessage API by default but fall back on my old approach if necessary. The syntax of this API is very similar to mine. Depending on what kind of browser support you need, the postMessage API may be all you need.

Hi,

excellent plugin, does exactly what it needs to.
Do you still intend to upgrade it, as you mention at the end of your post ?

Cheers

Thank you for this tutorial, if for example the child window return lot of raws data how can we accomplish this :

Hey,

unfortunately I can’t get triggerWindowEvent to work on a child window using the current FF and the current Opera – the form fields’ values get set correctly, but the “click” event doesn’t get fired. Triggering a parent function from a child window works, though.

I’ve high hopes for this plugin! I need to communicate between a page and an iframe on that page – can you give an example of how that might work?

thanks!
