    Default Iframe SSI 2 question

    Hi all,

    I'm using the Iframe SSI script II

    It work beautifully until I introduce an SSL certificate - then it breaks with permission denied errors. Is this just a complete no no or is there a workaround, or another script that will do the job of resizing my iFrame????

    Many thanks
    Lar

    Hmm there may be a solution but I'm not aware of one. Basically the problem as I understand it is that JavaScript cannot access a page (in this case, page within the iframe) with a SSL certificate. Maybe there's some way to authenticate the JavaScript, but this isn't exactly my area of knowledge.

    I'm not all that sure what an SSL Cert is, though I am looking it up as I type this. Anyways, if both your top page and any pages you choose to load into your iframe are on the same domain and have the same security level, it should work. Or rather, if it can work, it will work. If the two pages are on different domains, or if they have different security levels, it will never work.

    The below may or may not apply in your specific case.

    One other thing I will throw out there is, that if you switch your iframe to:

    about:blank

    as its source, as is often popular to do for various reasons, and the top page is secure, this too will cause a security violation.
