Overview

This utility provides a set of functionalities to interact with the parent window:

- Controlling the parent window through a Y instance
- Sandboxing all YUI driven modules within the iframe instance to avoid polluting the parent window.
- Supporting multiple versions of YUI running in the same page without messing with the seed files.
- etc

All these features are specially useful if you want to create a 3rd Party Webapp.

Usage

You can inject this iframe in any page:

<!doctype html>

<html>

<head>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/3.2.0/build/yui/yui-min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

YUI({

    //Last Gallery Build of this module

    gallery: 'gallery-2010.09.01-19-12'

}).use('gallery-parent-window', function (iY) {

  iY.ParentWindow({

      gallery: 'gallery-2010.08.18-17-12' // for gallery-dispatcher

  }).use ('yui2-tabview', 'gallery-dispatcher', 'node', 'event', function(Y) {

    // enjoy a safe Y instance running on top of the parent window without

    // polluting that document, and relying on the iframe to load any YUI module

  });

});

</script>

</head>

<body><br></body>

</html>
