Send custom message from iframe guest to iframe host where host HTML from portlet

Image
By User



I'm trying to send a custom message from an iframe guest to an iframe host using jQuery (We are developing both guest and host). The guest and host are on the same domain but on different ports. Also, the iframe host is being rendered from a portlet within a Liferay portal instance (5.2.3) and the portal mangles the host URL of the portlet. The host and guest URLs look like:





host: http://localhost:8080/host/foo/bar?p_p_id=portletname_WAR_portletname_INSTANCE_nNz9&...





guest: http://localhost:8081/guest





I know that trying to do this messaging violates the same origin policy enforced by browsers. To get around this I've looked at using PortHole, EasyXDM and the jquery-postmessage-plugin.





The problem I have is this: For these libraries to work the sender (iframe guest) needs to know the host url but cannot know the mangled portlet host url in advance.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

By User
I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

By User
The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome.
