We have a Wicket app with a page that includes an embedded Youtube video. The video embeds and plays fine, but apparently it causes the rest of the page to not render- it seems that the DOM elements coming after the embed simply don’t show up on the page, despite being in the markup.
Looking at the error console in Chrome reveals:
Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access
frame with URL
http://example.com/detail/COMMUNICATION/search/com-sonyericsson-hanashi
from frame with URL
http://www.youtube.com/embed/eJY7_De5opI?enablejsapi=1&autohide=1&showinfo=1.
Domains, protocols and ports must
match.
I’ve googled this a fair amount, and people seem to be saying that it’s innocuous and to ignore it. That just seems wrong, and in our case it actually breaks the page.
If we change our app so that the video is embedded dynamically via an ajax callback (user clicks a Wicket AjaxLink) we still get the error in the console, but at least the page renders fully. Unfortunately this won’t work for us, as we need the video to be loaded by default when the user first hits the page.
Edit: I should add that although the error message was taken from the Chrome console, the bug seems to affect every browser I’ve tried: Chrome, Safari and Firefox.
The security error is unlikely to break your page. It looks like the error is happening from within the YouTube frame, which means that in the worst case the content of the frame will be messed up.
A frame/iframe from an external page cannot, under any circumstances effect the content of the parent document unless they are from the same domain and port number. It is one of the hard rules of browser security.
The error must be elsewhere in your markup. Any chance of seeing some example markup?
[edit]
The error could also be in the embed code markup. Or, if any script tags are included directly on the page (not in the iframe) it could be there.
Usually when problems like this happens it is because of an unclosed tag somewhere but it could be Javascript as well.
