<h2 id="Example">Example</h2>

<p>In the following code block, you can see a new channel being created using the {{domxref("MessageChannel()", "MessageChannel.MessageChannel")}} constructor. When the IFrame has loaded, we pass {{domxref("MessageChannel.port2")}} to the IFrame using {{domxref("window.postMessage")}} along with a message. The <code>handleMessage</code> handler then responds to a message being sent back from the IFrame using <code>onmessage</code>, putting it into a paragraph — {{domxref("MessageChannel.port1")}} is listened to, to check when the message arrives.</p>

<pre class="brush: js">var channel = new MessageChannel();
var para = document.querySelector('p');

var ifr = document.querySelector('iframe');
var otherWindow = ifr.contentWindow;

ifr.addEventListener("load", iframeLoaded, false);

function iframeLoaded() {
  otherWindow.postMessage('Hello from the main page!', '*', [channel.port2]);
}

channel.port1.onmessage = handleMessage;
function handleMessage(e) {
  para.innerHTML = e.data;
}   </pre>
