Using Frames and IFRAMES on a template
When using an Frame or an IFRAME on a MCMS2002 template you will experience a strange problem when switching to authoring mode: You will receive a Javascript 'permission denied' error.
This is a small issue in the coding of Console.js causing a Cross-Site-Scripting issue in framed sites.
When switching between presentation and authoring mode Webauthor trys to change also the mode of all other frames.
This causes cross-site-scripting errors when the other frames do not belong to the same site.
This should also cause trouble in a framed site when the other frames contain content from other sites.
To solve this you have to add 8 lines of code to the Console.js file located at the following location:
\Program Files\Microsoft Content Management Server\Server\IIS_CMS\WebAuthor\Client\Console.js
Add the red lines to the code:
function UpdateSiblingFramesInPublishedMode()
{
for (i=0; i < window.top.frames.length; i++)
{
if (window.top.frames[i] != window)
{
// refresh it with Published mode URL
try
{
window.top.frames[i].location.href =
GetUrlModePublished( window.top.frames[i].location.href);
}
catch(e)
{}
}
}
}
...
function UpdateSiblingFramesInUnpublishedMode()
{
for (i=0; i < window.top.frames.length; i++)
{
if (window.top.frames[i] != window)
{
// refresh it with Unpublished mode URL
try
{
window.top.frames[i].location.href =
GetUrlModeUnpublished( window.top.frames[i].location.href);
}
catch(e)
{}
}
}
}
