It doesn't seem like the spec spells that out anywhere. I've checked both http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/comms.html#dom-window-postmessage and http://dev.w3.org/html5/workers/#dedicated-workers-and-the-dedicatedworkerglobalscope-interface I'm sure I could just be missing it, but it doesn't seem like it's specified anywhere. It would be very useful to include this in the spec in both of these relevant locations. Thanks Elisabeth Robson 54399 1 ian 2011-08-08 21:03:10 +0000 I added a tutorial section. Let me know if it's solved the problem.
