FLUID-2896: solve problem of preview not working for http://fluidproject.org

Description

In the javascript to use ui options, you need to load the ui options template from an html page on the server. Because of ?security issues? I have had to use the exact url in the javascript to load the UIOptions template (see javascript snippet below). I would prefer to have used a relative url, but get security errors when I do.

var loadUIOptions = function() {
var urlSelector = "http://" + location.host + "/uploads/ui-options/UIOptions.html .uiOptions";
$("#dialogContent").load(urlSelector, initUIOptions);
};

I figured out that using the location.host above solved the problem of having two possible urls - http://www.fluidproject.org or http://fluidproject.org

However, I have a similar problem in the template - which loads the preview template. I am really not sure how to address this issue.

Ideally it would be best to solve the security issue and go back to the relative url, but otherwise a solution to the preview problem would also work.

  Added a code snipit into initUIOptions as noted below.

  var initUIOptions = function() {
  var options = {
  listeners: {
  afterRender: function() {
  $('.uiOptions .fl-col:eq(0)').accordion({
  header: 'h2',
  clearStyle: true,
  autoHeight: false
  });
  $('.uiOptions .fl-col h2:eq(0)').focus();
  },
  onCancel: function() {
  $("#uiOptionsContainer").dialog("close");
  },
  onSave: function() {
  $("#uiOptionsContainer").dialog("close");
  }
  }
  };

  // solves the uri security issue
  // remove if we can get relative uri working
  //locate .flc-uiOptions-preview-frame in the template
  //replace the src parameter with the appropriate value
  $(".flc-uiOptions-preview-frame").attr("src", "http://" + location.host +
  "/uploads/ui-options/UIOptionsPreview.html");

  uiOptions = fluid.uiOptions("#uiOptionsContainer", options);
  $("#uiOptionsContainer").dialog('option', 'position', 'center');
  };

  Ended up removing this code after forcing website to have http://fluidproject.org url only. FLUID-2909
