I am working on an app where I have a flash app that access a URL through an iFrame. The contents of the iFrame is 3rd party content. The content is a menu that you can navigate through but once you get to a certain point, the menu launches a pop up, and the popup is the continuation of the menu.
I was wondering if there is anyway that I could capture the popup and make it load within the parent/opener page, using jQuery perhaps to change the contents of the iframe?
This solution is probably way out there but I was just hoping for a nice quick fix.
The reason that this is a problem is that the app is for a tablet and the popup doesn’t appear within an app on the tablet.
Thanks
If the iFrame content is served from a different domain than the parent/owner document, you’re out of luck – that is, if you have no control over the iframe content. This is due to JavaScript’s same origin policy.
If you are able to modify the web app running inside the iframe, you could try using window.postMessage (HTML5) to notify the parent window.
