A computer process enables a target window associated with a first domain to receive a message from a child window associated with a second domain. The message is passed using an iframe that is created within the target window. The process may, for example, be used to relay information entered by a user into the child window to the target window.

Cross-domain communications between browser windows

Methods, systems and computer program products are provided in which a first 'sender' web browser window that is within a first domain can communicate with a second 'target' web browser window that is within a second, different domain. Pursuant to these techniques, an iframe may be provided within the target web browser window that has a source address that is within the first domain. The content of the iframe may be a function that forwards a received message to the target web browser window. The target web browser window may receive a message in response to the sender web browser window invoking the function of the iframe.
