[thelist] Passing global vars to an iframe

[Simon MacDonald]

Sorry replied to the wrong post previously :(

Global variables are assigned to the windows object so var aaa = null; is a
shortcut assignment for windows.aaa. The following code will list everything
in the windows object including variables. If you have a naming convention
you may be able to regex them out?

  <script type="text/javascript">  
		var aaa = null;
		var bbb = null;
		var globals = [];
		
		for (var n in window) {             
		  globals.push(n);
		}
		
		alert( globals.sort().join('  ') );   

  </script>

Not sure if this really helps, though. :)

The difficulty in this situation is that our content server for the ads is
effectively on a different domain. Cross-server scripting being what it is
that's not a goer for us.
