What went wrong?
There was attempt to access an object for which you have no permission. This is likely an {{HTMLElement("iframe")}} element loaded from a different domain for which you violated the same-origin policy.
Examples
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <iframe id="myframe" src="https://www1.w3c-test.org/common/blank.html"></iframe> <script> console.log(document.getElementById('myframe').contentWindow.document); // Error: Permission denied to access property "document" </script> </head> <body></body> </html>
