jQuery not working inside Facebook iframe-based application

Description

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am developing a Facebook application using iframe. I want to use jQuery but I get the following error in IE (I do not get this problem in FF and Chrome):

"Access is denied"

on line 2945, which is this:

if (document.documentElement.doScroll && !window.frameElement) (function(){

After some tracing, I found that the source of the problem is trying to access window.frameElement, which is forbidden in IE (if the host of the iframe is different in domain) for security reasons. Please check this for more information.

I found a solution for this bug. I added the following code to to know whether we are in iframe or not:

var notInFrame = true;

try {

notInFrame = !window.frameElement;

} catch(ex) {

If accessing the frameElement fails, a frame is probably in a different

domain than its parent.

notInFrame = false;

}

Then later, I used this line:

if ( document.documentElement.doScroll && notInFrame ) (function(){

instead of this:

if ( document.documentElement.doScroll && !window.frameElement ) (function(){

This solved the problem. Please check this for more information:
