POHidden iframe chrome callback not fired
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm developing a web page using the hidden frame technique to retrieve some data from the server. The data is updated in real time, and the server notifies the browser on each modification..</p> <p>The component is working in both IE and Firefox, but in chrome, the callback function retrieved by the server is not executed in the client browser. However i can see the connection opened in the developer tools, and the received data through that connection growing.</p> <p>I have read that some browsers could have problems parsing and executing the data received from the server, but I wasn't able to find a solution for those cases.</p> <p>Maybe i need to send some http header to this case, but i dont even know what to search.</p> <p>EDIT: Code sample This is the function i'm using to connect to the server. It is called after a sign in step. The sign in is implemented in the same way as the connect step.</p> <pre><code>function __sendConnectRequest() { document.getElementById(UID).setAttribute('value', __username); document.getElementById(SID).setAttribute('value', __sessionKey); document.getElementById(PID).setAttribute('value', __privateKey); try { document.getElementById('connectFormId').submit(); } catch (err) { alert("error connecting"); console.log("__sendConnectRequest: " + err.message); } } var __connectResponseCallback = null; function __setConnectResponseCallback(callback) { __connectResponseCallback = callback; } function __connectResponseHandler(statusCode) { if(__connectResponseCallback) { __connectResponseCallback(statusCode); } } </code></pre> <p>This is how i create my DOM elements. This elements are being appended to the body of the document, and the form has some input strings.</p> <pre><code>function getNewIframe(name, id) { //KNOWN BUG IN IE while creating iframes //http://webbugtrack.blogspot.com/2007/10/bug-235-createelement-is-broken-in-ie.html var iframe; try { iframe = document.createElement('<iframe name="' + name + '">'); } catch (ex) { iframe = document.createElement('iframe'); iframe.name = name; } iframe.id = id; iframe.style.display = 'none'; return iframe; } function getNewForm(name, id, target, action) { var form = document.createElement("form"); form.name = name; form.id = id; form.method = 'post'; form.target = target; form.action = serverUrl+action; form.style.display = 'none'; return form; } </code></pre>

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
