Hi Aakash, Thanks. It seems that there is no way to show the popup box (within an iframe ) in the centre of the sceen. I managed to find out another solution: show the popup box on a relative position to the top of the screen. My scenario is:
1. click on the link to show the popup box 2. capture the mouse event and get the Y coordinates of the mouse relative to the screen (screenY) and to the iframe itself(offsetY) 3. set the "top" of popup box div as follow: if( screenY < offsetY) top = offsetY - screenY + 200; else top = 200; On Aug 30, 5:02 am, Aakash Bapna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well if you want to show a popup box in your app, so that the user doesn't > play with app until it finishes loading, you can show fixed positioned div > with black background, some opacity,100% height, width and very high z-index. > We have been doing in our apps like in this > one-http://orkut.com/AppInfo.aspx?appId=533696775290ThanksAakash > > Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:29:34 -0700From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL > PROTECTED]: [OpenSocial] Re: cross-domain issue in iframe > Hi Scott, A different subdomain is enough to have the browser enforce the > cross-domain restriction.~ArneOn Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 11:03 AM, Scott <[EMAIL > PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Chris,Does the gadget domain need to be totally different from the > containerdomain or can they just vary by subdomain?- Scott > On Aug 26, 1:28 am, Chris Chabot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi Jesse,>> That's how it's supposed to work; The same-domain-origin is the > > basis> of the security model for gadgets.>> The last thing you would want > > is for a malicious gadget to be able to> add everyone as a friend (by using > > a link on the parent), change your> about me info to some spam message, > > steal your private information, or> anything like that!
