SpawnDomUri: Restrict to specific Dom-Node

136 views Asked by At

I want to start some Isolate, which manipulates a specific area in my webpage. To achieve this, I create such an Isolate via the function SpawnDomUri, which is able to access the DomTree. Apparently, some malicious/erroneous Isolate may change the whole webpage, which may not be desirable.

So my question is:

Is it possible to restrict the access of a Dom-Isolate ( which is started via SpawnDomUri ) to a specific Dom-Node ( incl. ShadowRoots )?

Best Regards, Alex

I don't think this is possible. I once saw an experiment from MS to try and allow this sort of sandboxing; but I don't believe it's something any major browsers have ability to do today.

Most people tend to use iframes to isolate them in this way (rightly or wrongly!).

The only solution that comes to my mind is to use a non-DOM-Isolate and expose an API on the root isolate that can be accessed by sending messages that only exposes/executes allowed invocations.
This is of course very cumbersome but as Danny said there is no direct support for your requirement.
