Attach Stylesheet To Iframe In Firefox (relative URI)
Apr 16, 2006
I have a problem in attaching an external stylesheet to a newly created iframe in Firefox (1.5.0.2). If I use the code below (with a relative address to the file) the stylesheet would not be applied. I have to indicate the absolute path:
var uriStylesheet = "http://localhost:8080/panel/styles.css";
to make it work in Firefox.
NB: if I try to attach the external stylesheet to the topmost body (the main document) I could use the relative path without a problem.
I was reading various articles on browser detection with javascript and I know it can be unreliable and unprofessional at times, but I was just playing it to see if I could get something working. What I wanted to do was attach a stylesheet if the browser in safari. With what I remember from the articles I read, isn't there a function that is navigator.appName(); ? I have written it in sorta of pseudo-code below:
I know that there is a .html() jQuery function where I can write html in the head of the document like so, head.html (HTML GOES HERE); but I have heard and form experience that mixing javascript and jQuery function can be dangerous. I would detect if the browser is safari and then link a stylesheet if true?
Inline scripting makes this easy but I'm getting Typeof MissMatch error when I use Unobtrusive script and I think it's because of the diffrence between DOM and DHTML.
INLINE:
HTML Code:
Unobtrusive attach event listner/external js.
Code:
This writen in the js of the index.html containing the IFRAME 'display' runs once imediatley on load then imediatley after throws 'typeof mismatch' error.
I have an iframe with some javascipt that gets the mouse x and y position like this:
//inside the iframe's onmousemove call back funciton xMousePos = window.event.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft; yMousePos = window.event.clientY + document.body.scrollTop;
This gets the x and y position inside the iframe. But what I want is the x and y position of the parent window, not the screen like screenX. Is there any easy way to get parentX and parentY or to get the offset x and y of the iframe relitive to the parent from inside the iframe?
I have a simple page with an iframe on; frame.html Inside this frame is a simply page; page1.html. Page1.html has a link to a stylesheet called style1.css.There is also a hyperlink to page2.html. Page2.html has a link to a stylesheet called style2.css.Now what I want to achieve is for the main page, frame.html, to style itself according to whatever is contained in page1.css, as it is page1.html on the frame. When the user uses the hyperlink and jumps to page2.html, frame.html should automatically restyle itself according to page2.css.
I know that innerText is not supported in FireFox and I've found the following code fragment which was originally designed in an HTMLElement prototype for an innerText getter. I do not however want to use the getter approach and want to just get the innerText as follows:
I've been having a problem with firefox and iframes:
What I have is 2 iframes in a page,the first spanning over the whole page ,the other about 200X200px.So what basically happens is the second one load after the first on top of the first.Now here's the problem.I'm using the dragiframe.js lib from ....
However, when using Firefox, version 3.6, the following error messages are displayed in the Firebug console when links "Page 3" and "Page 4" are clicked:
I've written several utility pages that use a dynamically created iframe. The iframe typically has a form that is populated by the main page. Then the form is submitted to be processed, and the returning page does something -- call a function on the main page, change a variable on the main page, etc.
All this stuff I created works on IE. Sorry, didn't have other browsers available to test. Now I have access to a machine with FF, and none of these scripts work.
So, short and sweet: What is the proper way to reference a form on an iframe from the parent doc in firefox? Also, call a function from the parent to the iframe, and vice-versa, call a function on the parent doc from the iframe when it loads?
I created a page that has an iframe on it. Within this iframe I call an asp page. The asp page is supposed to do some work and then update the innerHTML of a <div> object on the parent page to indicate that processing of the page in the iframe is complete. The code works in IE but not FireFox. I am wondering what is the best way to make the script work for both browsers?
What I get in IE is the "YO!" written to the iframe. What I get in Firefox is the 404 not found page of the site where the original "jstest.html" page and script are hosted.
I'm trying to get an iframe and call a function that is define inside the iframe, every thing is working OK in IE and Safari, when I try to do the same in Firefox is not working. The followoing is the code I'm using, how to get the iframe window, I try also getElementByID but also is not working
Using an the FreeTextBox control inside an IFRAME never completes loading - and as I have some actions to perform once its finished loading this is a real problem.
When I step through it in Firebug it seems to step OK - but it stays loading for as long as I have been able to leave it. I have no idea why that document.open() line is causing such a problem.
For now I've made these lines conditional to IE as it doesn't seem have a noticable effect on the operation in Firefox. I would love a fix to this if anyone has one - support at the FreeTextBox site is a bit on the sparse side.
I have a hidden "in between" page where I dynamically create a form and hidden inputs using ASP that should submit to a second page where this data will be used.
The form is automatically submitted using javascript. This code works in IE and in Firefox.
The problem I am facing now is that the series of these same pages I am working with are now being used inside an iframe. Since this change, the javascript submit no longer works in Firefox, but does in IE. Code:
I just learned that firefox (v 1.5.0.3) chops any content of an iframe that exeeds 2^15 (=32768) pixels i.e. in height? Any idea what went wrong or is this a bug/feature?
I am using this code: <iframe src="kibo.html" style="width:400px;height:32778px;"></iframe>
The following link when viewed with Chrome (Windows XP) the contents of the iframe take up the remainder of the window and looks fine. When viewed with IE8 (Windows XP) or Firefox (Windows XP) the contents of the iframe shows up in a much smaller scroll box window that is only using a small percentage of the available window.
Safari (Mac OSX) also renders the iframe the same way as Chrome.
Firefox (Max OSX) has the same rendering problem as Firefox (XP).
What coding changes do I need to make so that IE8 and Firefox act like Chrome and Safari and use the rest of the window for the iframe contents.

when I use Firefox to run my application (this involves sending an IFRAME request to the servlet and handling the response), there is no delay in displaying the data after each response. But when I use IE, there seems to be a 1-2 second delay. The script sends a request using IFrame, goes through a loop to return script tags containing data to the browser, and then data is displayed by the browser and a new request is sent. For IE, when a new request is sent, the delay in receiving the response is quite noticeable.
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>';
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.
