dojo/hash when invoked from a child iframe causes incorrect location navigation

[Nick Fenwick]

I made two examples, the simpler one actually sums up the problem better:

​http://nickfenwick.com/tractest/tractest_simpleframehost.html

There are two files involed: tractest_simpleframehost.html - main page, contains dojo code, with a global callback which will use dojo/hash to change its own hash. tractest_simplecallback.html - content loaded into iframe in main page - after 5 seconds, it invokes the callback in the main page.

Expected behaviour:

• Window starts with URL ​http://nickfenwick.com/tractest/tractest_simpleframehost.html
• after 5 seconds, callback is invoked, URL changes to ​http://nickfenwick.com/tractest/tractest_simpleframehost.html#/somewhere

Actual behaviour:

• after 5 seconds, callback is invoked, but URL changes to ​http://nickfenwick.com/tractest/tractest_simplecallback.html#/somewhere

The iframe's URL has been taken as the main URL of the outer page.

The more complicated example uses dojo/router, but it basically uses dojo/hash and suffers the same problem for the same reason. ​http://nickfenwick.com/tractest/tractest_framehost.html

Contents in the iframe, invokes callback on window.top

Given that no one has shown interest in creating a patch in more than a year, I'm closing this as patchwelcome. Please let us know if you would like to get involved in helping make this change to Dojo!
