How to fix “Permission denied to access property 'document'”?

Question

I posted it on stackoverflow.com. Someone suggested me to post it here...

While trying to automate testing with selenium rc I ran into this problem. I was just following the steps in the tutorials. Here is the code (same as tutorials):

[TestFixture]
public class SeleniumTest
{
    private ISelenium selenium;
    private StringBuilder verificationErrors;

    [SetUp]
    public void SetupTest()
    {
        selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, @"*custom D:\Program Files (x86)\Firefox 4\firefox.exe", "http://www.google.com/");
        selenium.Start();
        verificationErrors = new StringBuilder();
    }

    [TearDown]
    public void TeardownTest()
    {
        try
        {
            selenium.Stop();
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            // Ignore errors if unable to close the browser
        }
        Assert.AreEqual("", verificationErrors.ToString());
    }

    [Test]
    public void TheGoogleTest()
    {
        selenium.Open("/");
        selenium.Type("lst-ib", "selenium");
        try
        {
            Assert.IsTrue(selenium.IsTextPresent("Selenium - Web Browser Automation"));
        }
        catch (AssertionException e)
        {
            verificationErrors.Append(e.Message);
        }
    }
}

When I run the test, my firefox-5 browser pops up and the url looks like this: http://www.google.com/selenium-server/core/RemoteRunner.html?sessionId=507c2d6ec7214587984f0f86148e9ff5&multiWindow=true&baseUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&debugMode=false

I thought the url should be http://localhost:4444 and changed the url (leaving the rest). Now a selenium page(RemoteRunner.html ) opens up (with commands on the right). It then opens the google page, but nothing after that. And nunit shows me the test case failed, stating the reason: Permission denied to access property 'document'

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Can you instantiate you selenium object as ?

selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*chrome", "http://www.google.com/");

Here *chrome refers to firefox browser and has elevated security privileges on java script security restrictions.
