    <p>I'm having a lot of trouble getting cross domain iframe communication working. </p> <p>It's working on Firefox and Chrome, but on Internet Explorer, it only works in <strong>some</strong> ways:</p> <p>If the <code>parent.location = 'new_hash';</code> is not encompassed in an onClick event, it forces the parent frame to open a new popup window. If it is in an onClick event, the cross domain fragment identifier trick works. What gives?</p> <p>Sounds like I need to <strong><em>understand</em></strong> javascript.. </p> <hr> <p><strong>Edit to comments:</strong> parent.location.href and parent.location have the same behavior.</p> <p>It seems to be my specific browser IE 8.0.7600.16385 reading the hash change as a popup. I'd like to hear if anybody else has experienced something like this. </p> <h2>Creates popup in parent:</h2> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; parent.location = 'http://example.com#new_hash'; &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>shows a "popup blocked" dialog in IE8. If I let the popups open, they infinitely open popups.</p> <h2>Does not create popup in parent:</h2> <pre><code>&lt;a onClick="parent.location='http://example.com#new_hash'"&gt;clicky&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>or</p> <pre><code>$(function() { $("mybutton").click( function() { parent.location='http://example.com#new_hash'; }); </code></pre> <p>Does not create popup in parent.</p> <h2>My real example</h2> <p>Mine needs the parent.location=newhash to fire when its own hash has a certain value. I essentially have a :</p> <pre><code>setInterval(function() { if (location.hash == 'something') { parent.location='http://example.com#new_hash'; } }, 500); </code></pre> <p>What's going on? How can I tackle this problem? Why does it work when tied to a click event but not if the statement runs on its own? The specific example i'm working on is at <a href="http://www.grovemade.com/products/test" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.grovemade.com/products/test</a> at v.04</p> <p>I'm actively messing around here so it may become outdated..</p> <p><strong>On Firefox and Chrome,</strong> the parent frame is modified from no hash, to #xdm-success, to #handshake-complete. </p> <p>On IE8, #xdm-success forces a new page to open.</p> <p>Thank you!</p>

    1. COi've tested your example in the domain you gave but I didn't get any pop-ups in IE8 or IE7. It works the same way as firefox and chrome except the background is white in IEs

    2. COOoh! Interesting. I wonder whats up!? Is this a well known problem on some IE8s? 8.0.7600.16385 I wonder what I should do... if on "some" IE8s, the site would infinitely create popups, that is.. very bad press. People will be chapped.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
