Passing variables across iframes different domains. Can it be done?

[thecard]

There is a security blocker in browsers now a days which makes passing vars from an iframe to the page which it is embedded in hard!

Is there a way round it?

I have searched google a lot, but I just found a lot of answers that I don't understand about fragment identifiers.

I know a lot of people are looking into this at the moment because of the cross domain capabilities which this allows.

Thanks for any help!  ???

The most logical way around this would be to accept a variable through GET or POST on the other page, but I don't really know what you are doing so I can't say that is the best way.

Here is a question to add to this, or at least a situation that may be familiar.

 

In this case, you have your site that gathers information from a database (name, address, phone, etc.).  All this information is yours, you are submitting information to different sites that are loaded through the iframe that has forms that require this information, and instead of copy-paste, you want to drag-and-drop this information into the forms.

 

Or another way would be to have a button that does an auto-fill for these forms.  Remember, the iframe sites are not on the same server, but are apart of an affiliate program or something like that where you can submit your information.

 

How would you handle crossing information from the main page into the iframe?
