Oh OK, well that put's an entirely different perspective on things. I did not know that same domain pages could communicate. So if I were to hunt down the culprit javascript I could perhaps disable it with something like… [windowController.webview stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"location.hostname=null;"]; Thanks. Oh the reason I want this functionality is that I have multiple accounts for dealing shares, every day I have to set up 3 different browsers and 10 or so different pages and it takes 10 minutes of my life every day. So I'm trying to find a way to do everything I need, open every page and account in 1 click._______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
