Javascript errors when iView is running in Portal Content Area

Question

We have URL based iView which is running flex application. If this iView is running in separate window (by preview, link or setting "Launch in new Window" option) everything is fine.
However, if iView is running inside Portal Content Area there are bunch of JavaScript errors (missing object, permission denied). The iView itself is still running fine, but those errors are annoying and could be a problem for customers.
Are there any ways to fix it?
Thanks.

Hi,
So after a few days I managed to finally get a workable solution:
Whenever you are referring to a script file in your main page, you will not be able to open the file when in normal mode, even with relaxing the domain and all the other hints posted.
What you need to do is to include the actual content of the *.js file in the main html page.
For example, if you have a page called index.html that refers to a file AC_RunActiveContent.js which is located in your scripts directory, you will need to change the code in the index.html file as follows:
Initial HTML File:*
< HTML>
< HEAD>
< TITLE>Test Page</TITLE>
<!-- Collapsible Panel Java Script -->
< s c r i p t  s r c="../scripts/collapsiblepanel. j s" type="text/ j a v a s c r i p t"></ s c r i p t>
<!-- Collapsible Panel Java Script -->
< /HEAD>
< BODY>
< /BODY>
< /HTML>
New HTML File:
< HTML>
< HEAD>
< TITLE>Executive Committee - Balance Sheets</TITLE>
<!-- Collapsible Panel Java Script -->
< s c r i p t t y p e="t e x t / j a v a s c r i p t ">
your actual javascript code
< / s c r i p t >
<!-- Collapsible Panel Java Script -->
< /HEAD>
< BODY>
< /BODY>
< /HTML>
By doing this:
You will be able to use java scripts in your html file and applications without experiencing the problems mentioned. Keep in mind though that you will now have all your script file code in your actual html file and the number of lines in the files will increase dramatically.
The increase in size of the actual html files are not too bad, a normal 2Kb html file may increase to 70Kb if not more, depending on the code contained in the initial *.js file.
I have played around with this and have been able to include Macromedia Flash objects in my html files too, by pasting the actual code content in the html files as opposed to refereincing the script in the relevant directory.
I hope this helps.
