IE9 and iFrame problem

Hi.

orbeon forms are being exposed via an asp application that runs on domain: bar.tld
the orbeon instance is running on foo.bar.tld

Due to some strict cross-domain referencing rules in IE9 this yields some disturbing orbeon errors which I don't think are important to note as it's not really an orbeon problem.

It's easy to fix by simply adding trusted sites but you can't expect all users to be able to do that, especially given the error displayed.

I'd like to ask about an alternative or a known solution to this problem if it exists. Here are a few ideas:
Can this be done server-side?
Would it be enough to install the tomcat server hosting orbeon forms on the same machine (or simply eliminating the subdomain and instead put behind /folder?
Has anyone any experience with using embed or object instead of iframe?

Some users had this issue with Safari as well and our recommendation
was to use the same exact domain to prevent the cross-domain issue in
the first place.

You are right that it shouldn't be up to the users to try to fix it!

What really matters is that the client sees the same hosts. On the
server, there could be proxying going on (it's reasonably easy with
Apache, for example), so that Orbeon is actually deployed on a
separate machine.

Re: IE9 and iFrame problem

I'm reasonably certain proxying has fixed the problem, Thanks.
