I do have one question pertaining to a specific situation.

I have a project in the works, which ultimately would be a fb app, but for now is still in my java editor.

It has among others things a fb iframe primarily so that I can see what i am styling. When I am finished, I will flip it around so that the fb page is the main page and everything else is in a iframe.

Everything was fine for a week or ten days, then a day or two ago, I noticed that the equivalent of a “opacity screen” (dark gray about 15%) was over the iframe in question after log-in to the that iframe.

I have over 1000 lines of code and no reference to layer, opacity, filter, focus or anything remotely connected to the problem at hand.

Could it be that it originates in the source?

Somehow, I am thinking that your article answers this question in a general way, but I am looking for a more specific answer.

Thank in advance you for your prompt reply.

In the meantime, I going to go see if you have written anymore articles of similar quality.

Best Regards,
g

I've been working with OpenSocial and Facebook for awhile, and while they support cross-domain iframes, it's always been unclear as to what exactly is going on. Thanks for the explanations.</p> Great article.

We attempted to make peace using Law II, using javascript we would tell both pages they were the same domain:

The developers of B were willing to place a small piece of code on their page, so long as they didn’t have to tangle with the data. We asked for the script document.domain=xyz.com
Then, on A, we did the same.

I’m not sure if you have any insight on this, but I’m posting it in the hopes it will help others (you are not alone). Meanwhile, I’m off to try other approaches.
