Targeting A Form Field In A Different Frame
Oct 8, 2007
I have a frameset with two frames one, scriptFrame, containing a page with the javascript on it the other, mainFrame containing a page with a form, form1, on in, with the text field, text1 in it.
I want to target the text field and change the value from the script running in the scriptFrame.
The code i have is:
parent.mainFrame.document.form1.text1.value='x'
But this does not work.
I can target the document ok using:
parent.mainFrame.document.bgColor="violet"
And running a script from the page with the form on it I can target the form using:
document.form1.text1.value='x'
So why doesn't it work when I put the two together? Any help would be much appreciated.

Am creating a framed chat application and when the user types a message in the form field and clicks the submit button, the message gets sent to the display frame, but the message stays in the form field. How can i get the form to submit the message AND reset the form field to blank too?

I have a web form with several fields. If I copy & paste from a RTF document into a field, the javascript validation and field length are bypassed and cause the form to fail.

I have two frames. Frame "search" contains a search form specifying
an onsubmit action like so:
<form ...
...
</form>
The other frame contains a <img ... where
the perform_search function is defined as follows:
<script language="JavaScript">
function perform_search() {
var frame = parent.frames.search;
var form = frame.document.forms.mainForm;
form.submit();
}
</script>
Now, when hitting Return in the search form, then foo() is called
fine. But when clicking on the <img ...
in the other frame, foo() is NOT called.
Is expclicitly calling foo() from perform_search() the only way to do
it, or is there a magic incantation that might do what I want?

I'm trying to build a page that has two frames, both of which are
generated by a different cgi script.
The lower frame is generated by a script called "control.py".
The upper frame is generated by a script called "getchat.py".
On the lower frame, there is a button called "REFRESH". When clicked, I
want it to be able to read information in a hidden input on a form in the
upper frame, that being .....
<input type=hidden NAME="last_seen" value = "' + str(lastByteLoc) + '">
.... and submit that information to getchat.py.
I have a javascript routine worked out which *usually* does that when I
view the page with konqueror. Unfortunately it never seems to work with
mozilla. Can anybody tell me why? And better still, how I can fix it?
Here's the code generated by control.py ......
In the <head> i have ....
<script language = "javascript">
<!-- hide from older browsers
function refreshPosts()
{
plast = parent.chatframe.form1.last_seen.value;
parent.chatframe.location = 'getchat.py?last_seen=' + plast
}
//-->
</script>
And on the form in the lower frame, I have this input ......
<input type = "button" value = "REFRESH" onClick = "refreshPosts()">

I'm supporting an ASP legacy application and need to implement
"autosave" functionality. I have two frames, one that holds tabs
displaying different pages a user can select, and the other that holds
the page content itself. If a user clicks on another tab without
clicking the Submit button, I want to submit the current form for them
and do some further processing.
The problem is that top.framename.formname.submit() only works
sporadically. Sometimes the document object of the page frame does not
exist. Is there any way to "guarantee" that the document object will
exist? Has anyone ever encountered this problem or have any suggestions?

The following form validation script works, currently if one of the five fields are completed, a message appears the remaining field(s) must be completed etc. Although the information the user has inputted in the first field is cleared. How can this information be available, if there is one problem in the form it doesn't make sense that the user must re-input all the information again. I look forward to hearing your response,
function validate_form ( )
{
valid = true;
[code]....

I am trying to copy a form that is in one frame, using a button on another
frame. The form has a couple of tables inside it. I can get it working
when the button is in the same frame, but not in different ones. I get an
"invalid argument" error on the controlRange.addElement(x) line.
What I have so far is:
<script language='javascript'>
function CopyForm() {
if (document.body.createControlRange) {
var x = window.parent.fraRight.document.getElementById('Fo rm1');
x.contentEditable = 'true'
var controlRange;
controlRange = document.body.createControlRange();
controlRange.addElement(x);
controlRange.execCommand("Copy");
x.contentEditable = 'false'
alert('The table is now copied to memory.
Start Excel, and Paste
the table into a new worksheet.');
}
</Script>
where fraRight is the name of the frame the form is in, and Form1 is the
name of the form I want to copy. The only thing I have changed from when it
was working in the one frame, is:
var x = window.parent.fraRight.document.getElementById('Fo rm1');
used to be
var x = document.getElementById('Form1');
I can do things like alert(x.name) and get the right name of the form, so I
think I have got the object properly. Is there any other way to make sure?

The situation is this:
+Must use frames (no iframes)
+the input field resides on another page of a different server not controlled by me but is linked via the frame. Thus the problem - I cannot change any code on the frame page.
+the input field is an ID field that once it is entered, it should post by returning the results
Problem: I need to autofill the value into the input field and then post the form. But the form resides on an outside server. How can this be done?
Efforts to date:
1) I have created a separate button that tries to autofill the value after being pressed. Unfortunately, it only works in a non-frame - I cannot seem to reference the form value inside the frame.
2) I tried to pass the value as form.input.value=xxx, but this just seems to be ignored.

<body>
<div><h1>Header</h1><hr /></div>

my javascript code is only validating one field at a time (as in it validates on field then submits the form, instead of going through the entire thing and then returning it as true and submitting it...) I'm not sure what to do to be honest, I've looked up google to no real avail.. my variables are declared in a seperate file to the actual even handlers and I have heaps of comments through out it, so please don't judge lol i'm still learning Quote:
//Event Registrations (Variable Declarations) found in validation_chkr.js
//Validate Entire Form using validate_join()
function validate_join()

I am currently constructing a web-based database and would like to have it so that the main query output appears in a frame in the main window. Some of the queries require the user to make successive choices, each based on the one before, before the final query is built and executed. I would like the user input to occur in a pop-up child window belonging to the frame in the main window.
For example, a table of data is printed out into the main output frame. This table has links to then cross reference the data within it. Ok, so the user will click one of these links which will then pull up a pop-up window giving a little information about the link, and various choices to allow the user to cross-reference this back into the main database.
The point is, I need this query output to go BACK INTO THE PARENT FRAME, as opposed to into the pop-up (child) window I got as far as using <FORM ACTION="opener.location.replace('query.php') NAME="thisform" METHOD="GET">. This runs the query in the parent frame, but does not appear to pass the form data to the server .

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:

Im trying to make a back button that reloads the previous page the user was at.
The back button will be on a small top frame and the page that needs to be controlled will be in the main frame.
The top frame is just a navigation system, and all pages will be loaded in the main frame.
Im trying to use this Code:
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="button"
NAME="back"
VALUE="BACK"
onClick="history.go(-1)">
</FORM>
Does anyone know how I could accoplish the desired result using this code, or any other code? And what about a foreward button?

I have a document that contains a child frame with name/id = "help_frame".
From Javascript in the top level document I can access the child frame's
elements using:
var elem = document.frames.help_frame.document.getElementById ("chkSynonym");
but if I try:
var elem = document.frames.help_frame.document.chkSynonym;
the result is 'undefined'. What is wrong with my syntax?

In my application I have an iframe that is empty (and not visible)
initially, however when a user presses a button a form is
programmatically submitted and the target is set to the IFrame.
I want to detect when the frame has been loaded with the result of the
form submit.
Of course I have tried some event handlers like onload, onactivate,
onreadystatechange, but they do not work in this example. They only
seem to work, when the "SRC" attribute of the "IFrame" is set, e.g.
not when the IFrame is set as the target of the form.

I am building a site of which I would like the contact information and form to pop up from the button on the menu/header frame into the main frame as a lightbox ...no matter which page is loaded in the main frame.
I was trying to experiment with the archived "jQuery Contact form for your website" tutorial from web devlopment blog . com. (I didnt want to post a link to it as I dont want to possibly flag the moderators)
Go to [URL] to see the layout and what I am going for.

Is there a way I can calculate a field in a form based on another field in
the same form. When clicking submit, both values should be posted to the
next page. I want to be able to type in a value in one field, and
automatically in a second field the value*1,36 should appear.

What I want to do is a simple geo target for some ads I have. If a
visitor from the UK or US views a page I want a specific ad to load up,
if they are outside the UK or US a want a different ad to load up.
Is this possible with Javascript? I don't need a complicated PHP
script, just this simple task.

I am wondering if it is possible to get the response from a method
within a given page, and that function alone? Traditionally, I have
been getting the response from the Page_Load method of the targeted
page, but now I want the response from a particular method on the
target page:
Public Sub SomeCallback(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
'RETURN XML FOR CALLBACK
End Sub

So I'm having an odd problem (at least odd to me).When I use getElementById to target an element in the DOM, it will work fine until I place it within the content DIV wrapper. Do I have to create a path like getElementById(wrapperDiv.targetItem) or what?
