Cross-document messaging

Last updated on : 2023-03-20

Note:
Cross-document messaging shows a browser compatibility score of 100. This is a collective score out of 100 to represent browser support of a web technology. The higher this score is, the greater is the browser compatibility. The browser compatibility score is not a 100% reflection for every browser and the web technology support. However, it does give you an estimate on how much you should rely on a particular web technology in terms of browser compatibility.

Overview

If you want to send a message or update data on one page to another on the same domain, you don't need to write any code; just use postMessage.

Specifications

HTML Standard # dom-window-postmessage-options-dev
