SCRIPT70: Permission denied IE9

Question

I am getting the strange error "SCRIPT70: Permission denied jquery.js, line 21 character 67" on IE-9. Searched on google but could not find anything except a bug on CKEditor.

Position it showed just contains following:

P=navigator.userAgent,xa=false,Q=[],M,ca=Object.prototype.toString,da=Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty,ea=Array.prototype.push,R=Array.prototype.slice,V=Array.prototype.indexOf;c.fn=c.prototype={init:function(a,b){var d,f;if(!a)return this;if(a.nodeType){this.context=this[0]=a;this.length=1;return this}if(typeof a==="string")if((d=Oa.exec(a))&&(d[1]||!b))if(d[1]){f=b?b.ownerDocument||b:s;if(a=Sa.exec(a))if(c.isPlainObject(b)){a=[s.createElement(a[1])];

anyone run into this error?

*Additional Info:*We open an iframe and call some javascript functions inside this iframe.

thanks.

Answer 1

The SCRIPT70 error in IE9 occurs most likely when your iframe is calling some javascript (especially if it affects the parent page - e.g. hash change of parent url)

Check that your iframe's host/protocol/port number matches. IE9 is exceptionally strict about the host name(down to the www portion in my case) and document.domain did not seem to provide a workaround for that.

Encountered this issue and fixed it while dealing with multiple iframes, hope this helps others with the same issue.

function Sizzle( selector, context, results, seed ) {
  var match, elem, m, nodeType,

  // QSA vars
  i, groups, old, nid, newContext, newSelector;

  // MY EDIT - this try/catch seems to fix IE 'permission denied' errors as described here:
  // http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/14535

  try{
    document === document; //may cause permission denied
  }
  catch(err){
    document = window.document; //resets document, and no more permission denied errors.
  }

  if ( ( context ? context.ownerDocument || context : preferredDoc ) !== document ) {
    setDocument( context );
  }

  //...... snip .........//
}

Answer 3

I was having this exact problem with IE9 and in fact, it happens with IE11 as well.

My problem was I was opening a website via http (i.e. http://mywebsite.com) and an iframe within my code was trying to access a portion of the website using https. This was causing the error. Once I accessed the website using https, the error went away. A old bookmark was the cause of it using http and the site had been updated with https so check your URLS.

You cannot access any of your iframe's contents if it points to a different domain than the parent site.
