You should be able to get the data in the argument in deferred callback (and set it to a variable).

So I’m getting the data in the auth window, but how do I store the data into a variable?

Thanks!

@Neil: I am not sure, I was able to fix the “Loading” by calling document.close() for the document (innerDoc). You might also want to take a look at the jQuery port of this module: http://friedcellcollective.net/outbreak/jsjq%20uerywindownameplugin/

Hi,

Thanks for the answer re size limits for the transport and as well for the info about security and the referrer header.

I’ve tried to tinker with dojox.io.windowName.js as little as possible to make it not dependent on dojo (only because the project I’m trying to integrate it with is already written in jQuery). Everything seems to work ok, except the browser never stops loading after a request; ie, it completes a successful xd fetch of data but then continues to display “Transferring…” or “Loading…” indefinitely. I see the comment about having to write to and close the innerDoc in FF, but I’m seeing this problem in all browsers. Any ideas? I thought perhaps you might have encountered this problem when you were developing it. The only change I really had to make was to get rid of the use of _iosetArg and the deferred object. Would this affect it?

Thanks,

Neil

[...] The window.name protocol is most conducive for fine-grained resource access control, since it utilizes an iframe that can be properly sandboxed by browser and allow intuitive in-page authorization interaction. This technique is described in detail here. [...]

Hi,

How much data can be passed this way (ie, is there a size limit on the window.name property in any/all browsers)?

Thanks,

Neil
