#13938 is a duplicate of this ticket.

Sizzle Update: fix #13936 - iframe reload should not affect Sizzle.

Changeset: d0ca6096000a4a86f9a86f1deb0b498dd6dedf2c

See #13980 for followup.

IE8 still generates 'permission' denied error when inside an iFrame.

<iframe src="/framechild.html"></iframe>

Inside framechild.html

<!--stuff up here-->
<script src="assets/js/jquery.1.10.1.js"></script>
<!-- ERROR IS GENERATED in IE8-->

Changing line 1513 to sizzles new code will correct this issue

if ( parent && parent.frameElement ) {

to

if ( parent && parent.attachEvent && parent !== parent.top ) {

will fix this issue

jQuery 1.10.1 Permission denied

http://jsfiddle.net/j3LaC/

We are having the same SCRIPT70 Permission denied issue (in IE only (7,8,9 & 10)).

Basicly we have an iframe that either gets reloaded (because a form (post) submit has happend), or gets redirected to a different page.

(note, all pages we load in the iframe are on the exact same domain, not even on a subdomain but the exact same domain).

Each time the iframe fires its "onload" event, we call a function which then assigns click events to buttons inside the iframe.

example, we have this on our iframe:

onload="popupLoaded(this);"

We then have something like:

function popupLoaded(obj){
var iframecontents = $(obj.contentDocument);
//or, we also tried it like this
var iframecontents2 = $("#iframeID").contents();

iframecontents.find("#mybutton").click(function(){
alert("Clicked me!");
});

iframecontents2.find("#mybutton").click(function(){
alert("Clicked me! (2)");
});
}

In IE, when the iframe loads for the first time, these clicks work.

But when the iframe gets reloaded or redirected to a different page, it throws the permission denied because for some reason we can't seem to access the iframe's contents anymore.

!! (wierd) FIX

Note that all of this is done with jQuery 1.9 or 1.10, both give the same problems.

After changing it to an old version of jQuery, version 1.4.1, this seems to be fixed, no errors are thrown and the clicks all function propperly...

Hi, I'm the author of comment above (NR. 8),

We've found out, and fixed, what caused our SCRIPT70 Permission Denied error.

Here's what we did:

When clicking on an icon we insert an iframe on the page inside a div called popup.

$("#popup").html('<iframe src="'+ url +'" onload="popupLoaded(this);"></iframe>');

The iframe then loads our page which has several div's on it, each with their own "hidden" input. For each of these div's we want the entire div to be clickable, so we create the click event on the div.

This is the function that gets called when the iframe is loaded

function popupLoaded(obj){
	//Get the iframe's content
	var contents = $(obj.contentDocument);

	//Make the click call
	contents.find(".divname").click(function(){
		//This next line causes the script70 error in IE
		var myHiddenValue = $(this).find(".hiddenval").val();

		//Then we go on doing stuff with this value...
	});
}

Here's what we had to do to fix it:

function popupLoaded(obj){
	//Get the iframe's content
	var contents = $(obj.contentDocument);

	//Make the click call
	contents.find(".divname").click(function(e){
		//var myHiddenValue = $(this).find(".hiddenval").val();

		//Alternative way to grabbing the hidden value
		var myValObject = $('<div/>').html(e.currentTarget.innerHTML).contents();
		var myHiddenValue = myValObject.find(".hiddenval").val();

		//Now we were able to get the value without any problems
		//Then we go on doing stuff with this value...
	});
}

So basicly we had to grab the innerhtml of the object we clicked (being the div) and turn it into a jquery object.

Then we were able to perform a .find() in this object and get the value, without having that annoying permission denied error in IE...

The fiddle example above still gives the error in IE 10 (if you set the jquery version to 1.10.1).

We have a large project with 3rd party js library that triggers the issue.

Is this something that will be fixed in jQuery eventually? or should the 3rd party fix this?

For the moment we'll migrate back to 1.9.x

I too am still getting this error with 1.10.1 in IE8-10

I can confirm that these fiddle examples [1,2] in this thread still cause the issue in 1.10.1 & 2.0.2. Also comment 8 and 9 exactly mirror my experience discovering this bug and working around the issue.

Thomas and Cody, does it work when you use the most recent released version?

I got similar issue in >=IE8. I have a popup dialog from an ifame content. On submitting, the following statement results in Permission denied error in Jquery1.9.1, and 1.10.2.

dialog = $(window.top).attr(window.frameElement.id);

You can't call .attr() on a window, it's only for DOM elements.

I am calling .attr() on $(window). In any case, it used to work on the old version (jquery.1.5.2):

var dialog = $(window.top).attr(window.frameElement.id);

if (!dialog) {

dialog = $(window.parent).attr(window.frameElement.id);

}

If you're stuck on 1.9.1 because of IE, you could always bypass jquery for this purpose. The following code worked for us. In our case we needed the html, but the premise is the same.

var iframe = document.getElementById('frameId');
var html = iframe.contentDocument.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML;

@haxorjim you could always update to 1.10.2, which has full support for IE6+, if you have migration problems, you could use https://github.com/jquery/jquery-migrate/, also this might be helpful too

This issue has re-arisen in IE11. The fix committed for this ticket does not activate because it looks for window.attachEvent which has been removed from IE11.

@luked, please open a new ticket with a test case. Thanks!

Can someone link to the new ticket? Would like to follow it, as I'm having the same issue in IE11

#14535

this is a big issue preventing use of jquery in salesforce!

same problema when clone object:

var eRows = $(rows).clone();

SCRIPT5007: No se puede obtener la propiedad 'ownerDocument' de referencia nula o sin definir

Archivo: jquery-1.9.1.js, Línea: 4392, Columna: 2

Due to the preferredDoc variable introduced in jQuery 1.9 i can not use this version and latter in my project that uses iframes. The variable caches a document object that becomes obsolete when the iframes is reloaded and Internet Explorer throws SCRIPT70: Permission denied.

Maybe my project is to blame as well because I reuse the jQuery object (sometimes) between frames. But I think it is a major design flaw to cache the document object. JQuery should not do this - at least not inside a frame or an iframe.

Hopefully you are testing with our betas, because both this issue and its sister #14535 have already been resolved.

I have just test with jquery-1.11.0-beta2.js and I had the same SCRIPT70: Permission denied error. I have tracked down the reason:

The jquery library attaches the onbeforeunload event to the iframe to remove the reference to the obsolete document object from the document variable inside jquery. The beforeunload event is not fired when window.location is used to navigate in the iframe. On my page I set window.location.href in the onload event of the iframe.

I had a similar issue except I was creating an iframe and appending it to the document. IE used to allow

$('<iframe .../>').appendTo($('body'))

, but newer versions will throw "Permission Denied" error. So, proper way is

var iFrame = document.createElement('iframe');
...
document.body.appendChild(iFrame);

When doing that I no longer get IE "Permission Denied" error.
