I have a window being launched from a page in a different doamain trying to close itself.

So, in domain A... I have the div tag in my page.

<div id="open" class="openWindow" style="text-align: center"></div>

.. and in the script I'm using to launch the window:

$('#open').parent().addClass("openWindow");
 
var windowOpen = $("#open");
 
if (!windowOpen.data("kendoWindow")) {
    windowOpen.kendoWindow({
        width: "400px",
        height: "320px",
        title: "Open",
        actions: ["Refresh", "Close"],
        visible: false,
        });
}
 
windowOpen.data("kendoWindow").center();
windowOpen.data("kendoWindow").open();

Also, in domain B, I have the open.htm file and with the following script.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

                <td style="padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px"></td>
                <td class="anr-message-text">

            <button id="No" class="k-button">No</button>

</body>
    <script type="text/x-kendo-tmpl" id="template">
        <div>          
            ${OrgCode} ${Name}
        </div>
    </script>
</html>

 

$("#Cancel").click(function () {
    $("#Cancel").closest(".k-window-content").data("kendoWindow").close();
});

Now, when I click the cancel button using the recommended way to reach the close funcion, I get the following error:

SCRIPT5007: Unable to get value of the property 'close': object is null or undefined

Same domain, window.parent works fine, different domain... and I can't get the window to close itself.

Hello Ron,

This is a browser security feature, called the same-origin policy. You can use the postMessage API to trigger an event in the parent frame, and handle this event to close the window.

All the best,
