write to iframe in Opera

Hi all,

I create an IFrame and want to dynamically add content to it in Opera
(8.54) like this:

<html>
<body>
<script>
oPanel = document.createElement("IFRAME");
oPanel.src = "about:blank";
document.body.appendChild(oPanel);
oPanel.addEventListener("load", function(){
var oImage = oPanel.contentDocument.createElement("IMG");
oPanel.contentDocument.body.appendChild(oImage);
}, false);
</script>
</html>
</body>

I get the following error message:

-----
Event thread: load
Error:
name: Error
message: Security violation
-----

I learned about problems Opera has to not apply anti cross domain
policy when dealing with frames. But how to solve this? Any idea?

Click to expand...

With Opera 8.5 on Windows I managed that with an enforced delay using
setTimeout e.g.

var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
iframe.addEventListener(
'load',
function (evt) {
var doc = iframe.contentDocument;
var p = doc.createElement('p');
p.appendChild(doc.createTextNode('Kibology for all.'));
doc.body.appendChild(p);
},
false
);
document.body.appendChild(iframe);
setTimeout(function () {
iframe.contentWindow.location.href = 'dummy.html';
}, 10);

where dummy.html simply has the basic
<htm><head><title></title></head><body></body></html> structure of an
HTML document.

Martin,

Ingenious! Loading the iframe with a dummy which indicates it being
from the same domain, I just had to replace
oPanel.src = "about:blank";
with
oPanel.src = "dummy.html";
to make it work.
It was my ignorance about how browsers would deal with "about:blank"
(same with my other post about relative paths in iframes created with
"about:blank"

thanks a lot
