cross-gadget scripting...

["Michael Ryan (Software Developer)" <Mi...@apollogrp.edu>]

I was thinking, in terms of stopping communication to/from various
gadgets via window.top/parent etc...

Would a short script before other scripts load with the gadget work?

window.top = null;
window.parent = null;
window.self.top = null;
window.self.parent = null;

this way the actual reference isn't available anymore?  Not sure if this
is protected/possible in the main browser engines (gecko, msie, webkit,
khtml, etc).  just a thought as an alternative to the wildcard dns
option.

It doesn't work -- these are readonly properties. Even if it did work, most
likely the properties would be further up the prototype chain anyway so you
could just delete the property.
