I’m using postMessage as the basis for a inter-window cross-domain RPC implementation. The library is available at Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/pmrpc/ and is being used in a few cool projects.

@Malde: I’ve seen your library. Nice work, though I think you should change the name :) BTW, email me at bradneuberg ATATAT g o o g l e . c o m since there might be a breaking change to the Gears cross origin work that might affect your library.

A little while ago I created a JS library that uses postMessage and tries fall backs when it is not available (Cookies, Google Gears).

Unfortunately it is in dire need of a new release (coming this weekend, trunk is fixed) because APIs happy changed between browser releases (deciding back and forth wehther postMessage should belong to document or window).

Whow ! Really interesting !!
I currently try to realize a communication “tunnel” between webpage and firefox addon using DOM event.
It works but really limited. This concept show me a new way to investigate…
