In my Chrome extension, I want to have my options.html
page communicate with something like Google's OpenId API. In order to do this seamlessly, I have a hidden iframe
on the options page which will pop-up the Google Accounts login page (following the OpenId interaction sequence, etc.).
My issue is that I can't communicate from the options page to the iframe
(the origin of the iframe
is something I control, but not the same as my chrome extension) via window.postMessage
. I was wondering if there is a quick workaround to this issue.
If there isn't, I'm going to make options.html
contain an iframe
that houses the layout and logic of the page.
