'Identify the sender-iframe from message when sandboxed
Fictional situation for simplification:
- I have a
grandparentpage containing oneparentiframe displaying the "parent page". - This "parent page" contains two children iframes
childAandchildB. - All the iframes are
sandbox="allow-scripts"for security reasons.
parent sends and receive messages from/to grandparent, childA and childB.
When parent receives a message, I need to be able to identify the sender, but I can't find the right approach, as the origin of the event is null:
function onReceive(message) {
// origin is null when the message comes from a sandboxed frame.
console.log(message.origin);
}
Do you know a clean way to know who does the message come from?
Solution 1:[1]
OK, it was simpler than I expected.
I actually can compare the message.source property with the contentWindow of the child iframes, or window.parent for the grand parent.
