Pass extra data to the iframe in the querystrng / hash tag for before easyXDM is initialized?

[Nathan Friedly]

Hi, is there a way to pass extra data along to the iframe in either the querystring or the hash that js in the iframe can access before easyXDM is initialized?

I'm currently doing this right after initializing easyXDM on the parent page:

var iframes = document.getElementsByTagName('iframe');
var iframe = iframes[iframes.length -1];
iframe.src = iframe.src + '#' + this.get(CDN);

And that works but it shows two load attempts in firebug, one that was aborted, and then a second with the hash. Is there a way to make easyXDM put the extra data in the iframe tag initially?

(I know I could hard-code the cdn url into the iframe, or have the server generate the iframe with the correct url in it, but this seemed like the simplest way to do things.)

Thanks for the great library and all your hard work

You are free to use a 'provider' url with both query parameters and a hash. easyXDM's arguments are prefixed with xdm_. 

I'm currently doing this right after initializing easyXDM on the parent page:

var iframes = document.getElementsByTagName('iframe');
var iframe = iframes[iframes.length -1];
iframe.src = iframe.src + '#' + this.get(CDN);

This is really not advised as easyXDM uses the hash for its fallback transport. Modifying this on your own might have unknown results.

Just add your data to the initial url, it should work :)

Works beautifully. I should have thought of trying something that simple. Thanks again!
