View 6 RepliesI'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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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.
Have this in parent document:
function ResizeDocument(...) {
$("iframe"
).each(function
(){ $(this
.contentWindow.document).trigger('customresize'
,null
);});

I am loading a collection of frames as follows (from jsp source, so ignore <%= %> blocks):
<html>
<frameset name="MNGM_OUTER" rows="50,*,20" framespacing=0
frameborder=0 border=0>
<frame name="MNGM_TOP" src="control/top.jsp" scrolling=no

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.

All three values are received at the JavaScript function. Have problems in translating and passing it to the parent. Trying to do the following from popup

function post_value(partNumber, partDesc, callingElement){
opener.document.caseLineupDetailForm[productNum[callingElement]].value = partNumber.replace(/`/g, "'");
self.close();

I have a script that opens up another window and a task gets executed, all of that is fine, but is there anyway that the parent window (the window that gets open) can pass data to the window that opened it? (I pretty much want to enable a button on that page)
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn javascript I need to pass a variable or function or something from the parent window to the child window. There will be a URL in the parent that needs to be passed into the child so when you click on the link in the child window it pulls in the link from the parent's js. Like this (ignore my rubbish javascript as I'm just writing it to explain my point!)...
Parent window var variableName="http://www.google.com" (send variable to child window)
Child window (pick up variable from parent window and drop it into the link's URL)
<a href="(variableName);">google</a>
This might seem like a crazy way of doing things but it's totally neccasery in the project I'm working on for various reasons.
Not sure if its a variable it needs but either way it needs to be in the js somewhere in the parent and the child needs to read it within the link. Everywhere I've looked on the internet shows how to do this with forms etc but I can't make it work for a URL.
I am opening a pop up in a new window (window.open) . I have no control on the code of the pop up. Its a third party pop up (twitter). Now that generates a callback url and I can specify that.My problem is the callback page is loaded on the pop up window. I want that window to close and have the call back page loaded on the parent window.

seems like my iframe is not getting along with its parent.I have been scratching my head about this and finally have the iframe calling the image in the parent and making it popup on click. HOWEVER I can not make that image draggable which is driving me bonkers.This is the iframe script
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#clickMe_01WC").click(function() {[code].....
I am using jQuery.The user clicks a link in the iframe and it toggles an image which makes it appear in the parent. This image that does appear however is not draggable and I am uncertain on how to go about this.
how to pass everything after the .php part in this link
PHP Code:

frameborder="0"
width="829"

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 have a page, with 3 IFRAMEs on it. From one of these IFRAMES, i am trying to append to the content of another IFRAME.
This doesnt work:
top.frames[0].document.getElementByID('chat').innerHTML+= "new content"
any thoughts?
I know I'm referring to the right frame, because
top.frames[0].document.location.href = "someotherpage.html"
does work

I need to execute some code after the page loads. So I'm having the code execute in an iframe. Now, the iframe contains JS vars and/or page elements that I need to use in the parent frame. How can I gain access to either of these in the parent?
I've tried all sorts of combos of frames[0].document.getElementById('name').innerHTML and so forth and I just can't seem to gain access to the document in the iframe from the parent.
