Sending event parameters to jQuery trigger in iframe

Question

I fire click events from the parent window into the built-in iframe (of the same origin), and I have no problem picking up the event, but I cannot access the custom parameters. That's what I'm doing...

Parent:

var iframe_doc = window.child_frame.document; var clickEvent = jQuery.Event("click"); clickEvent.fromParent = true; $("p", iframe_doc).trigger(clickEvent); 

Child (iframe named child_frame):

 $(document).click(function(e){ if(typeof e.fromParent === 'undefined' || e.fromParent != true) { // Do something } }); 

When I do something similar in the context of only one page, this is not a problem, and I see this event. But between documents, the fromParent property fromParent not set. Is this what I'm trying to do is even possible?

Thanks!

According to the documentation, you can add properties by passing an object to the constructor:

As in jQuery 1.6, you can also pass a jQuery.Event () object and its properties will be set on the newly created Event object.

That is, in your case:

 var clickEvent = jQuery.Event("click", { fromParent: true }); 

Have you tried it yet?
