Using Browser.evaluate and Browser.execute in non-top window contexts? [message #558558]

I use a Browser widget (with the default IE browser) to load a page that contains a frameset that refers to documents from different security domains.

The Browser API javadocs refer to the "context of the current document.". Unfortunately , this is appears to be limited to the document in the top window.

Does anyone know of a trick to invoke Browser.evaluate or Browser.execute in the context of a document in a non-top window (e.g., a frame or iframe)?

Hi,

If accessing a frame by name (eg.- browser.execute("frames['name'].foo()")
is failing due to a security restriction then I don't think there's
currently support for what you need, since execute()/evaluate() always
happens in the top-level document. You may be able to get this working by
duplicating-then-tweaking the browser's current execute() implementation.
For example, in IE.execute() it invokes execScript on an IHTMLWindow. If
you had the IHTMLWindow from a child frame instead then invoking execScript
on it would probably be executed directly there.

Suggesting that you do this is obviously not ideal. If you log a Feature
Request with SWT at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform &component=SWT&bug_severity=enhancement
then this can be considered for future inclusion in SWT.
