At Sprout (http://sproutinc.com) we have a generic platform to design mobile HTML5 ads which are served inside an IFRAME. We allow designers to link elements in top window and new window. If they choose "top window", in Android 2.2 when we do "window.top.location.href = url" instead of going to the URL or just halting code execution, the browser refreshes the current top-level page. We need a way to test for the security exception or at least detect some other property of window.top and then do window.open(url) instead when that security error is trapped or we detect different-origin. -- Rob Barreca Director of Development Sprout, Inc.
