    Iframes and getting their current URL within Subdomain

    Hey all,

    Quick question. My website is :

    http://mywebsite:1234


    and I load into an IFRAME this url :

    http://anotherwebsite:2828


    As you might have noticed they are both on the same domain (just not
    fully qualified (ie. http://mywebsite.dmianname.com:1234)).

    How do i access the URL of the IFRAME? I keep getting access denied.
    I know I can't read the url of an IFRAME if the domains are
    different... but in this case aren't they the same?

    Thanks for any advice you can give.

      The SOP does not consider DNS resolution. You have to use FQDNs instead,
      and set document.domain appropriately. Alternatively, you may use
      server-side URL rewrite so that it appears to the client that both resources
      are from the same domain.
