How does facebook comments plugin works? - javascript

I would like to understand how the facebook comment plugin, that is inserted inside a web page, using a javascript script and a div tag, works.
If I try to guess (and using firebug), the javascript part loads an iframe that is inserted inside the div part.
My problem, is that everybody can put a comment feed that is not necessarily ralative to the web page content! Suggest I'm example.com, how can I be sure that example.org is not using my example.com facebook comments?
Does Disqus works similarily?
Thanks in advance.

The facebook url that is loaded within the IFRAME has access to the REFERRER URL (which is the loading page in this case) and uses it to check the domain.

how to access the external website iframe having a title [duplicate]

I wonder if it is possible to get the page title of an url within IFRAME. I tried to use jQuery $('#iframe').attr('title') but that doesn't work. Please help. Thanks.
I think this is what you're looking for:
$(document).ready(function()
{
alert($('#iframe').contents().find("title").text());
});
That will return the page title that is located in the <title> tag of the iframe document that has the id "iframe".
I misread your question.
$('title', frames[frameName].document).text();
If what you are looking for is a way to get the URL of the iframe after the user has clicked on a link within that iframe, this is not possible in any modern browser that blocks cross-domain attempts.
Even though the iframe is part of the DOM and you can easily find the new iframe URL using apps like Firebug, Firefox will throw a XSS error on any attempts by js to directly pull that info.
But for the record, as it's already been said, the location within the DOM of the actual URL of the iframe content is (with a little help from jquery) : $("#id_of_iframe).contentDocument.location.href
I'm not totally sure if the above points straight to it with the above syntax, but that's the gist of it. The part that is a no-no is trying to go inside that contentDocument part.

Trace URL's that link to my iframe/widget

I have created a widget.html page with, for example, a "Powered by Example.com" box/widget. And I have an HTML iframe that links to that specific page (widget.html) on my site.
<iframe src="http://example.com/widget.html"></iframe>
I share that iframe code with website owners who want to use my widget on their sites.
I want to be able to see every single site that uses my iframe. I would prefer a code that creates a txt file or even a MySQL Table with all websites URLs that use my widget on their websites.
I basically want to track the sites that use my widget as an iframe . How do I do that? With Javascript? PHP? MySQL?
P.S. I'm not sure if an iframe is the best way to link widgets off my site, but I'm open for your suggestions. Thanks in advance.
use jquery
then load a request page throgh jquery like : $("#div1").load("demo_test.txt");
and send a request uri parameter to it
you will find the current url using the widget and alos you can get the parameter

Google AMP html - insert amp-iframe without src attribute

I'm trying to run a script inside an AMP page.
There is no page I need to load within the src attribute; my script should inject an <iframe> with the correct src (it is unknown at first load, only received in response to a request made by my script).
Is this possible in AMP?
Disclaimer: I'm open to different approaches to accomplish the same result - injecting an <iframe> with an src attribute within an AMP page.
Thank you
The AMP page cannot contain any javascript in the first place, so this won't work: https://www.ampproject.org/docs/reference/spec.html#html-tags
The only way to achieve your goal is to:
create an iframe with a src attribute pointing to an HTML page you control
in that page load the Javascript that does the work. You can see a similar approach in this example: https://ampbyexample.com/advanced/how_to_create_interactive_amp_pages/
As stated by #ade you can pull this off. Think about it like this.....
You'll have an HTTPS resource that you can hit that will return the blank iframe along with all of the JS code you need to populate the iframe. So basically an entirely functioning page that will be returned to the AMP-IFRAME.
Calling this from the src attribute of an AMP-IFRAME tag will then pull in your page that includes a blank iframe and all of the scripting needed to populate it or manipulate it. So all of your custom code is happening within the AMP-IFRAME tag but all of it's resources live within the embedded iframe tag that the AMP-IFRAME tag pulls in and renders.
We have a custom video player that works very similar to what you are talking about. I created a template that can be hit via HTTPS that returns a page that iframes our video as well as includes all the scripts to play it and manipulate it. It's all contained in a nice neat little package and the only thing required to use the AMP-IFRAME is the script that extends it. Check out all the AMP-FRAME documentation here.
Hope this helps.

How can i get html from a page that has javascript function?

When I load the page I get only a part of the code. The site is http://www.livescore.in
I want to create an html page that have a variable containing the full html code.
Thanks in advance
This might be what you're after. Using jQuery you can load a full page into your site. Create an empty div on your page and use:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#yourDivsID").load("yourURLHere");
});
</script>
You can't access the content of an external iframe (i.e an iframe which url belongs to a different domain).
So if your page is at example.com, and it contains an iframe loading livescore.in, the page will display the iframe and its content but the JavaScript code at example.com cannot read/write the content of the iframe.
There are solutions to this:
You can use postMessage to talk to the iframe but that means that the owner of livescore.in has agreed to communicate with you.
You make an ajax call to a server side script on your domain that will fetch the content for you and send it back to your JavaScript.

jQuery selector not working on iframe contents

This part of a script works fine on a normal page:
<script>
$(function() {
$(".counter").countimator();
});
</script>
But when that same page is loaded in an iframe on a page on another domain, it doesn't work.
Is there a way to get this selector/code work when the page is loaded within an iframe? I want to give people a iframe code that they can use on their personal websites to get the content of my page on their website.
Edit
I published the basic code on http://joomlaground.com/iframe_test/
The http://joomlaground.com/iframe_test/clock.php runs standalone like it should.
Then I created a very basic iframe page iframe.php which iframe the clock.php. However then the clock.php is not counting any more.
How can I fix this?
If '.counter' element is outside of the iframe you're running the internal iframe script has no access to this element as the current document and iframe are separate documents. If you'll have any questions don't hesitate to ask below.
When you move this script in an iframe then it means you are running your script in a new window.
Now in new window you are trying to access some library function:
$(".counter").countimator();
That can only be done if you have that library included in the source of that iframe.
