Jquery :: Change Body Colour Of Parent Window From Within IFrame?
Apr 21, 2008
I'm trying to change the body colour of the parent window when a button is clicked inside an iFrame, using jquery. The code I have is as follows but it just doesn't do anything:
This should be an easy one for a change... I just can't figure out the DOM addressing format... either that or its just not possible.
I want to change the body align attribute of the content of an iFrame. The 'why?' is a bit convoluted, I just need to do it from a bit of JavaScript.
I have tried:
Code:
And the FF error console (it will be used mainly in IE but the FF error console is nicer ;-) ) tells me that document.getElementById('myIframe').document is not defined.
I know that document.getElementById('myIframe'). is defined as I can set its src value to load a page, so I'm guessing that the loaded document isn't called document in the DOM.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to being able to manipulate bits of the docuemnt laoded in the iFrame - the body attributes particularly to start with?
How do I do this? I've set up javascript to change the background colour depending on what colour square the user clicks on, this is working fine.However, I want to be able to set an initial colour, other than white, and then let the user chose their own.
here is my code so far.
<script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function changeBGC(color){
[code]....
I want the page to be initially set to the brown colour, then I want the user to be able to choose their own colour.
Alright I have an Iframe, and at the end of that Iframe I have set a variable with JS to be equal to TRUE, indicating that the page has run through the script. I then check that the iframe from the parent window for that variable, if it has not been set yet (or does not equal true) it reloads the iframe.
The code works fine FF and Opera. However in IE it does not reload the frame if it is not true, and in Chrome it alerts undefined and does not reload the frame I have tried accessing the frame through the dom and it did not work for me, and i have also tried simply adding a tail to the iframes source with no success. :confused:
I need an answer to a problem with iframe below.I have an iframe jsp page which is a popup window from an other jsp page.The iframe jsp popup window has few buttons.I need the return reponse of button clicked from iframe in parent window.BTW the parent window is not an iframe.
I have an iframe that can successfully reference its parent window, using the following code:
var elm = window.parent.document.getElementById('iframesID');
This works flawlessy in all browsers, EXCEPT for some reason, Safari 5 on Mac (Safari 5 on Windows works fine).
After debugging a bit, I found that the script breaks exactly on that line, and alerting the value of window.parent returns undefined. Going nuts! I Googled this specific question way too long and found no responses.
I have a page containing a hidden <div> called 'controls' plus an <iframe> containing a second page. I need to be able to set the visibility of the 'controls' div when the page in the iframe loads. Is this possible?
Using this code I can change the visibility from a link in the parent window:
If we have an iframe loaded from the same domain as the parent document, how can we (is it possible) to execute a function on the parent document's page? Code:
if i try iframe'ing this site [URL] it doesn't work :( , it automatically redirects the site to the parent window. this may be due to the some script code in that site :confused: ...
The following script will take the option parameter from the page URL and scroll the page to the element which has the matching ID.For example:mypage.html?element3will cause it to scroll to the element which has an id="element3" when the page loads.
<html><head><title></title> <script type="text/javascript"> function OptionScroll(){
lets say i have a have page a with frame b, frame b has 2 forms, c and d, how would i go about making it so that i could submit form d from the parent page?
ive tried window.framename.document.formname.submit(); but it doesnt work and ive searched and havent found anything that worked either...
I'm trying to code a website that's built around an iframe (as in, the nav bar links to content which appears in a central iframe). Now, in one of my pages I've got links that are supposed to open a small text block when they're clicked.
how to do this using either divs or the DHTML window widget [URL], but in both cases the tab appears inside the iframe, and it's pretty cramped. I want to position it relative to the parent window, not the iframe, but so far haven't been able to figure out how to do this.
I'm trying to make my body content scroll at the same time as an iframe located within the body. This has to do with the age old problem of mouse focus on iframes. When my mouse reaches the iframe and it takes over focus, I would like the body to keep scrolling until the iframe is right at the top of the screen. After that I want to relinquish focus to the iframe. I don't mind if the iframe starts scrolling as soon as the mouse reaches it, so long as the main body keeps scrolling for a while.
After executing the iFrame-name.location=url (which worked fine by way,) there is a very undesirable event; the parent window also gets redirected to the same url.:mad: I am calling this function from a click event on an Image object. I have tried everything from return(false); to window.event.cancelBubble = true; nothing stops the parent window from navigating. The interesting thing is, if I hit the Back button it goes back and still redirect the parent window automatically, over and over.
The odd thing is I have identical code in another project and I never had problems.
Here is a portion of my javascript func:
function clicked_SubmitScreensBtn() {
var url = "ovExplorer.asp?Action=show&QData=BLABLABLA"; var iFrDoc = document.frames("ifrmOVExplorer").document;
I am preparing a log for all the elements that have been selected in a document.
So I have to listen to the onmousedown,onclick events on parent document from a iframe and have to display the selected element's attributes like(tag name, id, name etc).
Is there a way to listen the mouse events (infact all the events) from the iframe.
I have a simple javascript function loadNPlay('file'),
parent.loadNPlay('file');
on clicke event it simply plays the file in a player in the parent window. with IE and Mozilla its working fine but with Safari, when called from iframe this function doesn't work(it does work, ie loadNPlay(..) when called in the same window, in safari)
I have tried:parent.loacation.loadNPlay(..) as well, it doesn't work.
I'm trying unsuccessfully to get some text links to change & restore their colour.
[URL]
Referencing this link - there are 3 text links at the top of the page, which scroll to different anchor points on the same page.I need the following to happen: On hover, change colour (easy using css) On click link A, change colour When clicking link B, link A restores to original colour.
How can I change the font colour in the input fields such as the example below?
The default text for all input fields are set to be black by default in CSS.
But I want to set the font colour of input fields for First Name and Last Name to be grey by default, they input text will be black like other fields when the text is type in.
I put this line in my jquery code below but it doesnt change anything obviously,
I'm wanting to have a button on a web page where if I click on that button it changes colour. Basically I have 3 images of leds being on, a green a yellow and a red. Depending on the state the normal running state would be green and if there was a problem I could make it yellow and if it was off make it red.
Rather than having 3 different buttons, I want to have 1 that can change when clicked and just cycle through the 3 colours.
