Passing Input Values From Parent Frame To Iframe Not Working In Firefox
Mar 5, 2009
To sum up this issue, I have a parent page, which holds some values in hidden input fields passed to them from the url. On this page, I have an iframe with a form in it, to which I want to pass values from these hidden fields to be displayed for the user in the iframe form. In IE, it works. To accomplish this, im just simply doing a <body onload="GetInput()">. The GetInput function does the following, but for about 10 fields:
Fnamefield=document.getElementById('firstname').value = parent.document.getElementById('firstname').value; Thats it. Once the page loads, i see my values. In firefox it does not work. I know the hidden fields are getting their values, but thats as far as it makes it. I have tried calling the GetInput function after the form is written out and not in the body tag, which still works for IE, but not FF.

I have a parent page containing an iframe. The parent page has a menu in it which opens links in the iframe. I want to highlight different bits of the menu according to which page has loaded in the iframe.
So I would like to do something like this:
1. Use PHP to extract the file name (minus 'php' at the end, of the page loaded within the iframe (which I can do fine).
2. Use javascript onload so that the iframe sends this value (say 'pagename') to the parent page when it loads any page in the iframe.
3. The parent page, having received that variable into its header, will adjust a line of css to something like: .pagename {background-color:red;}
And so the menu link for pagename.php will be colored red
4. When pagename1.php is loaded into the iframe, that will send 'pagename1' to the parent page, change the CSS in the head, and therefore change the highlighted menu item from pagename to pagename1
Is this possible? And easy? There seems to be a lot of stuff online about moving variables from iframes, but mainly in the context of form entries from an iframe to a parent, eg here:
[URL]
parent.function_name(); seems to be needed along the way. But I am not sure how to proceed.

I have a var in the parent frame called imageon.
Inside my iframe when someone clicks on a thumbnail, I want to change the value of imageon in the parent window.
Here is what I am doing
//I will hardcode the #4 here for this example
i_imageon =4;
/*
here I have to tell my parent page that they clicked on a thumbnail so my parent page knows where to pick up when they start hitting the next or prev arrows
*/
parent.document.imageon = i_imageon;
This is not working. Any ideas? Onclick, I can alert i_imageon and it shows what I need. The problem is, it is not setting the var imageon to this value in my parent frame.

I'm new to JavaScript and i have hit a slight problem with a project. basically, my issue is with iFrames - in particular, passing a value from an iframe to the parent page. i am trying to find a way for to pass the url of an iframe source back to the parent. hardcoding the source, or using a form within the iframe is ok - however i want to be able to view any page on the web within the frame, and for the parent page to be bale to identify what url is being loaded within it.

I have a parent page who allows user to view an invoice for service. My page bases the date and the value for payment to <%now%> and to <%total_price%>.
However I'd like to permit for users to editing those two fields by opeing a popup window with a new form and asking for these two new inputs. Afterward off corse, this values need to populate the equivalent fields on the parent page.
My questions:
1)I'm opening the new window after a js confirm instead of href or onclick methods, so I don't know how to pass the parent variable ID to the child window..
The code:
if (confirmation) {return true;}else{popupwindow("invoice_editing.asp?ID="id"");}
Problem:
the parentID=request.querystring ("ID") don't work
2)My child window picks the new values from the form... but I don know how to pass back the new values to the parent page and then reload it..
Please, but as much specific as you can to my problems and also please put the whole code of proposed solution, since I'm totally lost.

I need to make an online payment ( external online payment provider � different domain ) through the IFRAME. I am using ajax and it seems that it is not possible or desirable to open Other sites through ajax and it also does not go with simple GET or POST to pass the data.
The part of the code is here
1 STEP: is getting to calculation page where I have a small hidden form with the infromation which I need to send to IFRAME ( payment provider)
function submitform(event) {
Event.stop(event);
Lightview.show({
href: 'ajax/calculation_page.php',
[Code]....
How can I make it possible that with the button click in this page (calculation_page.php) to open an IFRAME and also to pass the values from the form to the iframe.

I've built in an iFrame that pulls in various other pages of variable height. Can you make this iFrame render its size based on it's src content ? I've been trying to use the scrollHeight of the frame but it isn't working. My current code:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function resizeIframe (frame) {[code]....
Basically my code always renders the scrollHeight at 150 but the test.html I'm pulling into the frame I've made a height of 500px ?

I have a domain: example.com; which is the parent.And a subdomain: api.example.com; which page 'receiver.html' is being loaded in an iframe, child of parent. Both pages set document.domain = example.com.
I'm trying to adapt this code:[url] but Idon't want to load jQuery from the <iframe> again but I need to have the method $.ajax() working from the <iframe> otherwise it would be a cross-domain request and the browser would abort it. I tried ingenuously to set via $('iframe')[0].contentWindow.$.ajax = $.ajax() and I just got a shortcut to the parent page jQuery method. I also tried to "clone" it using $.expand (true...) but the method doesn't work for me; probably because of the complexity of the objected I'm trying to clone. So is there a way for me to use jQuery to have only a $.ajax() method in the <iframe> ? I've thought even about creating a XHR in the child-iframe and then use that in the $.ajaxSetup ({xhr: THATNEWXHR}) but I couldn't do it. I mean, I want to use the XHR factory from jQuery (which has fallbacks for IE, etc) but it has to be created from the iframe-child.
Maybe there is other way to make the AJAX call come from the child-iframe.
If you're wondering "why don't you load jQuery from <script> in the child-iframe", there is a reason... As I'm using jQuery plugins + my own custom javascripts + other independent scripts I created a compiler which minifies each file and bundle them in one. The advantage of this is the reduction of HTTP requests. So "why don't you load that bundle inside the child-iframe?", because it's ugly and Twitter doesn't... Yeah, I like to take Twitter as a reference and I think if they were able to make it so can I;
I got to work in most browsers except IE and Operaby doing it with pure javascript.
I'm "attaching" the code for you guys to test. If you open it with Chrome, Safari or Firefox you will receive 2 alerts one with the return of $.get() and another with the return of a request made via XMLHttpsRequest object. Otherwise (if you open it with IE or Opera) you'll get 'undefined' in the first alert but the real return in the second.
This is the example.com/index.htm:

I'm trying to trap a user entry that cannot be found in the database. When a code is entered, the page should give a "Code Not Found" message if it is an undefined value.
However, it didn't; and it always shows the "undefined" value to the page instead.
Here's what I actually did:

I have a parent document that has a frameset with two frames in it. The first frame is a "header" that runs across the top of the site, and never changes. The second frame contains the "content" of the site. Essentially, I am trying to figure out how to prevent the header appearing above external sites when the user clicks an external link in the "content" frame.
Every time the content frame changes to a new URL, I would like the check that URL and determine if the content frame is changing to an external URL (i.e. different domain in URL) or to an internal link (same domain in URL). If the content is changing to an external link, I want to break out of the frame and just load that external link in the top most document.
I would like all of my javascript to be in the parent document, not spread throughout the individual pages of the site. I was trying to approach this by setting the onunload event handler of the content frame, but I am left with a couple of specific questions:
1. In handling an unload event, can you determine the next URL that the document is loading? Code:

I finally got the below script working in Firefox and was really pumped about it until I realized it didn't load in Google chrome or Safari. What this script does is its a dual onclick event which makes a hidden div appear and loads an iframe within the now visible div. Here is the code, how to make this work in other browsers.
Here is the header code:
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
<!--
var state = 'none';
function showhide(layer_ref) {
if (state == 'block') {
state = 'none';
} else {
state = 'block';
} if (document.all) { //IS IE 4 or 5 (or 6 beta)
eval( "document.all." + layer_ref + ".style.display = state");
} .....
Here is the code on the page where a link click shows the hidden div and loads the iframe contained.
<p><a href="#" onclick="showhide('div1');return loadIframe('ifrm1', '[URL]');
">show/hide me</a></p></td></tr>
<div id="div1" style="display: none; position: fixed; z-index:4;
width: 1010px; height: 500px; left: 5%; top: 15%; background-color: #f0f0f0;
border: 1px solid #000; padding: 10px;"><iframe name="ifrm1"
id="ifrm1" width="100%" height="90%" scrolling="yes" frameborder="0">
Sorry, your browser doesnt support iframes.
</iframe><p><a href="#" onclick="showhide('div1')">close</a></div>';

This is not an IFrame. The frame exists. This is code for a Notes Client. Should be the same as for a browser? Here is my code:
document.bgColor = "blue";
document.frames[0].location =
"/IC.nsf/Get%20and%20Compare%20URLs?OpenView"
OR
document.bgColor = "blue";
document.Frame2.location =
"/IC.nsf/Get%20and%20Compare%20URLs?OpenView"

I have searched the net extensively for a js link code that will scroll to the top of the parent frame.So, link is in iframe within a parent frame that I can't control. Therefore I cannot place any 'a name' attribute in any link in the parent frame. But would like to scroll to the top once the button in my iframe is clicked.I have used most scroll, document scroll to parent etc js functions but none of them scroll to top of parent page and some require a name to be placed in parentthis is my simple link<a href="#">go to top</a>
