Call a function within different iframes with jQuery

Question

In a single page I load two external contents into two div (ie. #div1, #div2).The content is located in the same serve. To do this I use this I use this script:

function sack(file) {
    this.xmlhttp = null;

    this.resetData = function() {
        this.method = "POST";
        this.queryStringSeparator = "?";
        this.argumentSeparator = "&";
        this.URLString = "";
        this.encodeURIString = true;
        this.execute = false;
        this.element = null;
        this.elementObj = null;
        this.requestFile = file;
        this.vars = new Object();
        this.responseStatus = new Array(2);
    };

    this.resetFunctions = function() {
        this.onLoading = function() { };
        this.onLoaded = function() { };
        this.onInteractive = function() { };
        this.onCompletion = function() { };
        this.onError = function() { };
        this.onFail = function() { };
    };

    this.reset = function() {
        this.resetFunctions();
        this.resetData();
    };

    this.createAJAX = function() {
        try {
            this.xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
        } catch (e1) {
            try {
                this.xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
            } catch (e2) {
                this.xmlhttp = null;
            }
        }

        if (! this.xmlhttp) {
            if (typeof XMLHttpRequest != "undefined") {
                this.xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
            } else {
                this.failed = true;
            }
        }
    };

    this.setVar = function(name, value){
        this.vars[name] = Array(value, false);
    };

    this.encVar = function(name, value, returnvars) {
        if (true == returnvars) {
            return Array(encodeURIComponent(name), encodeURIComponent(value));
        } else {
            this.vars[encodeURIComponent(name)] = Array(encodeURIComponent(value), true);
        }
    }

    this.processURLString = function(string, encode) {
        encoded = encodeURIComponent(this.argumentSeparator);
        regexp = new RegExp(this.argumentSeparator + "|" + encoded);
        varArray = string.split(regexp);
        for (i = 0; i < varArray.length; i++){
            urlVars = varArray[i].split("=");
            if (true == encode){
                this.encVar(urlVars[0], urlVars[1]);
            } else {
                this.setVar(urlVars[0], urlVars[1]);
            }
        }
    }

    this.createURLString = function(urlstring) {
        if (this.encodeURIString && this.URLString.length) {
            this.processURLString(this.URLString, true);
        }

        if (urlstring) {
            if (this.URLString.length) {
                this.URLString += this.argumentSeparator + urlstring;
            } else {
                this.URLString = urlstring;
            }
        }

        // prevents caching of URLString
        this.setVar("rndval", new Date().getTime());

        urlstringtemp = new Array();
        for (key in this.vars) {
            if (false == this.vars[key][1] && true == this.encodeURIString) {
                encoded = this.encVar(key, this.vars[key][0], true);
                delete this.vars[key];
                this.vars[encoded[0]] = Array(encoded[1], true);
                key = encoded[0];
            }

            urlstringtemp[urlstringtemp.length] = key + "=" + this.vars[key][0];
        }
        if (urlstring){
            this.URLString += this.argumentSeparator + urlstringtemp.join(this.argumentSeparator);
        } else {
            this.URLString += urlstringtemp.join(this.argumentSeparator);
        }
    }

    this.runResponse = function() {
        eval(this.response);
    }

    this.runAJAX = function(urlstring) {
        if (this.failed) {
            this.onFail();
        } else {
            this.createURLString(urlstring);

                if (this.method == "GET") {
                    totalurlstring = this.requestFile + this.queryStringSeparator + this.URLString;
                    this.xmlhttp.open(this.method, totalurlstring, true);

Is it possible to call in the second div a function that is located in the first div?

Answer 1

No, this is restriction of Same origin policy which won't let you to do such an action.
