postMessage events lack data

Description

The postMessage API takes two arguments: a message and a targetOrigin. When using the native window.addEventListener, the listener gets an event with the message in the "data" field. When using $(window).on('message'), the data field is blank.

jQuery's Event object only normalizes a small set of properties, as documented. If you want raw unprocessed properties, use event.originalEvent.data for example. In particular, the .data property in event.data would correspond to any data parameter passed in .on(event, data, fn).
