This really surprised me. I setup an iFrame in my document to display data from another table. For me, this was a way to be able to update that data without having to reload the whole page. Also, the iFrame gives me the ablity to have a scrolling table of results that doesn't fill up the whole screen when a lot of data is present.
when I read in the main page, the src of the iframe is set to a URL like
http://www.myserver.com/myiframe.php (the same server that the parent page is on)
in that source file is a call to my mysql server to retrieve the data
But I keep getting an "access denied" error message
If I put the code in the main page, it works fine, but if I try to load it into an iFrame I get the access denied message from mysql.
I understand that security has been tightned on iFrames, but being that this is on the same server as the parent page, I can't see why this is happening, or how to work arouund it.
Is there something else I can use besides an iFrame to reload only a portion of a page, and also have that portion in a fixed size view that will enable scroll bars if the content is larger than the desired size?
