Answer 1

You cannot access any of your iframe's contents if it points to a different domain than the parent site.

Answer 2

function Sizzle( selector, context, results, seed ) {
  var match, elem, m, nodeType,

  // QSA vars
  i, groups, old, nid, newContext, newSelector;

  // MY EDIT - this try/catch seems to fix IE 'permission denied' errors as described here:
  // http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/14535

  try{
    document === document; //may cause permission denied
  }
  catch(err){
    document = window.document; //resets document, and no more permission denied errors.
  }

  if ( ( context ? context.ownerDocument || context : preferredDoc ) !== document ) {
    setDocument( context );
  }

  //...... snip .........//
}

Answer 3

The SCRIPT70 error in IE9 occurs most likely when your iframe is calling some javascript (especially if it affects the parent page - e.g. hash change of parent url)

Check that your iframe's host/protocol/port number matches. IE9 is exceptionally strict about the host name(down to the www portion in my case) and document.domain did not seem to provide a workaround for that.

Encountered this issue and fixed it while dealing with multiple iframes, hope this helps others with the same issue.

Answer 4

If you are dealing with select element in your script maybe your problem is like mine

SCRIPT70: Permission denied when adding options to select element from a recently closed iframe

Answer 5

I was having this exact problem with IE9 and in fact, it happens with IE11 as well.

My problem was I was opening a website via http (i.e. http://mywebsite.com) and an iframe within my code was trying to access a portion of the website using https. This was causing the error. Once I accessed the website using https, the error went away. A old bookmark was the cause of it using http and the site had been updated with https so check your URLS.

Facing a similar issue (maybe not with jquery.js but the same error description) the solution was a bit different from above. Actually I have searched for other iexplore.exe lines in regedit. I have found other two and changed it to 1 and it worked then.
