Is it possible to have a javascript read elements from one browser tab from another? What I want to do is have a simple script that refreshes a page that I don't host every second or so and if the text on it changes from a preset string then to stop refreshing. So I have one tab open running the JS that I host which is pressing refresh repeatedly on the other tab and if that changes then it stops refreshing.
I've tried to think of a way to do this server-side (PHP) but couldn't think of one. I could make a script that reads the remote page repeatedly and if it changes then loads it, but to load it the remote page would refresh and then would probably lose the string I am after.
Even if just to say "nah, not possible" or something about XSS that I don't really understand...!
I'd like to resize an iframe into which different (same domain) pages of differing heights are loaded. I can do a first-time resize no problem. It's the subsequent reloads that need to pass back their height to the parent page There seem to be lots of solutions for that around, but few I can see for resizing each time the iframe reloads. One is described here on another board [URL] but unfortunately the test page is no longer around (or indeed the site), so the full code is no longer available there. This one works, almost, for me: [URL] it does resize for me, but not quite sufficiently high each time - about 90% of what is required: [URL] Is there a way to add on sufficient extra margin that scrollbars no longer appear?
Is there a way to resize an iframe dynamically so that you never get the scroll bar and essentially hide that there is an iframe? Better integration really.Basically I want to iframe a forum into my site so that the design down the sides and top which my friend does using iweb are not messed with.We have a central area which can be longer or shorter depending on the forum.
I have a page A and inside it I have an iframe B. B points to another php file that shows a form (so basically in the iframe we see a form). When I submit the form, I call to another page C that verifies the fields of the form and if they are ok I redirect to page X, if not I redirect to page Y. The problem is that I see page X and Y inside the iframe, and I want to see them in the parent page.
I have a page that displays in an iframe. How to get the index of the iframe in the parent window in which my page is getting displayed using javascript.
HTML Code: <html> <iframe src="A.html"></iframe> <iframe src="B.html"></iframe> <iframe src="C.html"></iframe> </html>
if I run the javascript from B.html then I should get the iframe position as 2. same way, if I run the javascript from C.html then I should get the iframe position as 3.
I have a web page which will display another web page in an iframe. But the content inside the iframe may change while the user interacts with it so I need to be able to resize the iframe height from code on the page inside the iframe. Any tips on how I can do that? I am using php and javascript.
How would i go abouts putting a javascript code into a hidden iframe and then have it update new messages to another frame if there is a new message?
By message i mean it checks the database for a new message ( this is for a chat ) Its the javascript im not sure how to set up... If someone could point me in the right direction thatd be great.
How would i change iframe content from another? ? I just need the 1 line code not a whole example, what i have atm is the page refreshes and a new variable is given i want the variable displayed on another iframe.
'm using dhtmlmodal for creating modal windows.Modal window is created inside a "iframe".My problem:I open a modal window, that window is redirected to another page in a different server and I try to close the window with javascript.But dhtml modal closes the window with:Quote:parent.vmodal.hide() Due to the window in the iframe is from a different host, it say "permission denied".Also windows.close() doesn't work with a iframe. My question How can I close an iframe from inside the iframe?
I have an order-administrations-system with 2 iFrame (left and right). Can I somehow click a link in the right iFrame and use that info to set a value in a field in the left iFrame?
Getting to the poiint; I have a 'index.html' document that creates 3 iframes, each within a row of a 1 column, 3 row table. So I have a top (frame1), middle,(frame2) and bottom(frame3). Frame1 src="header.html" is a descriptive banner. Frame2 src="Start.html" is where the real application does all the work. Frame3 src="footer.html" is a footer, that may contain 1 or more images or small buttons.
I will include the code for index.html at the end:
What I can't seem to do is have "start.html" change the content or src of frame1, recall start.html is the src of frame2. When a button within a form within start.html is pressed (onclick), a cgi (c program) outputs new html into frame2, a mainmenu of buttons. Now frame2 contains a list of buttons, and I want frame1 to contain text "Main Menu". Likewise, in the mainmenu, when the settings button is pressed a cgi program will output the settings HTML to frame2, and I want frame1 to contain the text "Settings".
Sure, the cgi program could change/re-write the contents of "header.html", but whats the best method, and then, how to reload the iframe, or change it's src.
Basically I have a web page with a search box and an iFrame where the full dataset is loaded. What I am trying to do is when the search field is populated and the user clicks search modify the src element of the iFrame to include a get variable. Then reload the iFrame so the new results will load. I've tried various combinations and nothing appears to work. It is only the master page that reloads. The jQuery to detect the click on the search box outside the frame is written into the iFrame file because other functions are.
I am wondering how Back, Forward browser button works for iframes. Does it bring back/forward iframe or top window? I remember I had before a problem because I wanted to bring back iframe and not top window as it did. But today I tested my Facebook app and was surprised to see it works as I need which means it brings back/forward iframe window and not top. Is it possible that Facebook has some javascript code which does that or is this normall behaviour?
If a link is targeted to an iframe, can the linked page do anything to NOT appear in the iframe? My efforts to make the linked page pop up a window or an alert outside of the iframe aren't working.
This may be hard to explain but I was wondering - well wait. Okay, I have a index.html file that has an IFRAME. What I'm trying to do is display a video playlist in the iframe and when the user clicks on what video he wants to watch it will put it in code necessary outside of the IFRAME.
I have an error that says, "VideoCode is null on line 70".ANyways to fix this? Thanks! I tried looking up some stuff online about this and I thought I was close but I guess not. I know that it's returning null because maybe it can't find it or has nothing or no value to it. So, how do I fix this immediately. I have visitors on my page and don't want to delay them.
I am currently working on a project that displays preview of a jpeg in an iframe. we can edit this preview - like increasing its zoom level and changing pages , images etc. This works fine with IE on windows but whenit comes to Safari on Mac , the preview is lost on refreshing the browser.
I have noticed that this problem occurs when ever I use Iframes. Although the main jsp page is refreshed and shown, the jsp page that is the source for iframe contained in the main jsp page is not shown.
I am trying to display an iframe over a flash swf and this doesn't seem to work quite right.
I get the iframe content to disply over the flash, but in the place of the iframe's scrollbars, I see the color of the flash movie underneath. I am testing this in Firefox on Mac OSX with Flash MX. I tried setting "wmode" to "transparent" and that didn't fix it either.
I am guessing that even though the iframe is being displayed on top of the flash, for some reason the iframe's scrollbars are getting hidden behind the flash.
I am ripping my hair out trying to set the src (location.href) of an IFRAME that i show once a user clicks on a certain link:
function editTimeEntry(timeEntryID, dayID, e) { var x = e.clientX; var y = e.clientY; ew = frames['editPop']; eF = getObj('editPopID'); eF.style.left = x + 10; eF.style.top = y + 10; window.top.frames['editPopID'].location.href = "controls/editPopup.aspx?id=" + timeEntryID + "&did=" + dayID; ShowFrame(); }
function ShowFrame() { if (eF.style.display=="none") { eF.style.display="black"; // FF Drawing bug } eF.style.visibility="visible"; alert("Location:" + document.frames['editPop'].location.href); }
When the IFRAME is displayed it just shows about:blank and not the location.href I set for it. After the first time, i click on the same link and it shows me the correct address in the alert box in ShowFrame(), but the iframe remains blank.
