Hi All,
I wonder if what I want to do is possible. On My main page I create TWO iFrames Side by Side based on a Session Variable:
Response.Write("<iframe scrolling=no width=256 height=1024 frameborder=no bordercolor=silver id='iframemenu' src='" + Session["PageMenu"].ToStri
Response.Write("<iframe scrolling=no width=256 height=1024 frameborder=no bordercolor=silver id='iframetarget' src='" + Session["PageURL"].ToStrin
So there are two pages side by side, one is a menu and the other is the target for the menu items.
I am using an ASP:Menu in the Menu page and in the the Callback
protected void Menu1_MenuItemClick(object
I want to change the src of the OTHER iframe
PSEUDOCODE iframe["iframetarget"].src
If I can't do that I simply want to refresh the Main page that creates BOTH the iframes that way I can repopulate the two ifrrames using session variables.
PSEDOCODE thepagewhocreatedme.Refres
Spent waay toooo long trying to find out how to do this
Thanks
Bill

Here's an example:
You have 'Main.html' and the two iFrame pages, 'iFrame1.html' & 'iFrame2.html'
1) Main.html: load the iFrames like usual
<html>
<frameset cols="50%,50%">
<frame src="iFrame1.html" name="iFrame1">
<frame src="iFrame2.html" name="iFrame2">
</frameset>
</html>
2) iFrame1: Your navigation page
You will need to include the following Javascript in the <head> of the navigation page:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
Function changeFrame2Src(location) {
this.parent.iFrame2.src = location; }
//--></script>
3) Your asp.net menu control will look something like the following:
<asp:Menu runat="server">
<Items>
<asp:MenuItem navigateUrl="javascript:ch
<asp:MenuItem navigateUrl="javascript:ch
</Items>
</asp:Menu>
*Keep in mind that I haven't tested the code!*
Another way to do it is to put the changeiFrameSrc function in the <head> of Main.html and call 'parent.changeiFrameSrc()'
Hope this works for you!
(I think they are talking about your same problem here: http://www.dynamicdrive.co
Fp,
Well I tried your suggestion and various incantations of it to no avail.
// On the main page
Response.Write("<iframe scrolling=no width=100% height=1024 frameborder=no bordercolor=silver id='iframetarget' src='" + Session["PageURL"].ToStrin
I'm not using a frameset I am dynamicaly creating the iframe and as far as i can ascertain there is no way to access the iframe from another child (
this.parent.frames["iframe
However I reverted to my plan B refreshing the parent form and passing a session variable back. This way I can handle things from code behind which is what I really want. After much hair pulling....
protected void Menu1_MenuItemClick(object
{
this.Session["PageURL"] = e.Item.PopOutImageUrl.ToSt
string l_script = "";
l_script = "@SCRIPT>parent.document.f
Page.RegisterClientScriptB
// By registering this script the parent page is refreshed and this page closes (Assuming you main page form is frmmain)
// the parent picks up the session variable and dynamically creates the iframe on refresh
}
I hope others find this useful.

Are you saying that you want to change the src of one iFrame from within the other iFrame? If so, then yes you can do this. I have done it before. If I remember correctly you need to reference the parent, and then the parent (you call it Main page) is able to change the source of the other iFrame. Something like, parent.iFrame2.src = 'whateverSrc.aspx'. One thing, I think I did that with Javascript, so you might need to call a Javascript function to change the src of the other frame, at least with the way I did it.
