Yahoo Mail requires the following to alert true a.html: <iframe src=b.html></iframe> <script> function A() { window[0].B(); } onload = A; onmessage = function(e) { alert(e.source === window[0]); }; </script> b.html: <script> function B() { parent.postMessage('foo', '*'); } </script> That is, .source should be the window of the function that calls postMessage (even if that function was called from another window). The same logic should apply to .origin. 70951 2 contributor 2012-07-18 17:48:33 +0000 This bug was cloned to create bug 18242 as part of operation convergence. 74343 3 ian 2012-09-24 03:26:51 +0000 That's what the "script that invoked the method" is. Why is this ambiguous? The concept of a "script" is defined in quite excruciating detail... 79241 4 ian 2012-12-02 03:35:07 +0000 zcorpan: Can you elaborate on what you'd like the spec to say? Would hyperlinking "script" to concept-script be enough? 79269 5 zcorpan 2012-12-03 10:41:20 +0000 Yeah, I think so. 83081 6 ian 2013-02-13 00:46:00 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 18242 ***
