Forbidden Access to Frame

[A. Jamie Cuticchia]

I have a webpage with 2 frames. Each frame accesses a different URL.
When I try to run a javascript from Frame 1 to access content in Frame
2, I get a forbidden error.

Is there a solution to this?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

If both URLs are from the same domain, but different hosts, you could use
document.domain to set them the same so cross-domain scripting security
won't interfere. If they are from totally different domains, you are out
of luck, JavaScript in one frame will not be able to access content in
another.

Make both URIs of the same second level domain and set document.domain
when required. (Groups-)Googling for "Same Origin Policy" will help.
