The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Trouble getting java variable to load in iframe src

Asked by the_hero in Java Programming Language, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Java Server Pages (JSP)

Tags: iframe, java, html

I have two java variables that are determined when a user clicks a link. The variables are key identifiers and allow me to reference other database variables depending on which ones are selected. The link points to two iframes and loads them through the src attribute. The src contains references to the two key variables. I can verify that the link is properly sending the variables. But the iframe src lines are not receiving them because I am unable to get other information that is in the same record as the key references.

This is strange because I can use the exact same syntax in other methods for passing the variables. IE, A tags, form submits, etc. But it is not working in the iframe src.

             Here is the first link that the user clicks to determine the variables using our java ap and our database.  You will see the two key variables in the href as page ID and layout ID.
 
<dl class="dropdown">
    <ul>
           <% 
             for (int i=0; i<ResponseBean.getSizeOfDynamicPages(); i++)
             {
                 %>
      <li><a class="underline" target="iframe_i_contain" href="<%= response.encodeURL("DynamicPagesEditServlet?action=&success=m1_dynamic_nav_contain.jsp&error="+ request.getServletPath()+"&"+com.ideaorbit.servlets.DynamicPagesEditServlet.HTTP_REQUEST_FIELD_KEY_ABOUT_PAGE_ID+"="+ResponseBean.getDynamicPagesID(i)+"&"+com.ideaorbit.servlets.DynamicLayoutsEditServlet.HTTP_REQUEST_FIELD_KEY_ABOUT_LAYOUT_ID+"="+ResponseBean.getSiteHomepageReference(i) ) %>"
   onclick="doBoth();"><%= ResponseBean.getDynamicPagesAlias(i) %></a></li>
 
           <% } %>
    </ul>
<div style="clear:both" />
 
 
 
Here is the onclick javascript.
 
<script type="text/javascript">
function doBoth() {
frames['iframe_i_nav'].location.href = '<%= response.encodeURL("DynamicPagesEditServlet?action=&success=m1_dynamic_nav1.jsp&error="+ request.getServletPath()+"&"+com.ideaorbit.servlets.DynamicPagesEditServlet.HTTP_REQUEST_FIELD_KEY_ABOUT_PAGE_ID+"="+ResponseBean.getDynamicPagesID(0)+"&"+com.ideaorbit.servlets.DynamicLayoutsEditServlet.HTTP_REQUEST_FIELD_KEY_ABOUT_LAYOUT_ID+"="+ResponseBean.getSiteHomepageReference(0) ) %>"';
}
</script>
 
 
Here is the iframe.  This iframe is a container which holds two more iframes.
 
<iframe name="iframe_i_contain" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="460" align="top" scrolling="no">
</iframe>
 
 
Here are the two iframes that the above iframe container holds.
 
<iframe name="iframe_i_nav2" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="30" align="top" src="<%= response.encodeURL("DynamicLayoutsEditServlet?action=&success=m1_dynamic_nav2.jsp&error="+ request.getServletPath()+"&"+com.ideaorbit.servlets.DynamicLayoutsEditServlet.HTTP_REQUEST_FIELD_KEY_ABOUT_LAYOUT_ID+"="+ResponseBean.getSiteHomepageReference(0)+"&"+com.ideaorbit.servlets.DynamicPagesEditServlet.HTTP_REQUEST_FIELD_KEY_ABOUT_PAGE_ID+"="+ResponseBean.getDynamicPagesID(0) ) %>">
If you can see this, your browser does not support iframes!
</iframe>
<iframe name="iframe_i_edit" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="400" align="top" src="<%= response.encodeURL("DynamicLayoutsEditServlet?action=&success="+ResponseBean.getDynamicPagesTemplateReference(0)+"/editnone"+ResponseBean.getDynamicLayoutsLayout(0)+".jsp&error="+ request.getServletPath()+"&"+com.ideaorbit.servlets.DynamicLayoutsEditServlet.HTTP_REQUEST_FIELD_KEY_ABOUT_LAYOUT_ID+"="+ResponseBean.getSiteHomepageReference(0)+"&"+com.ideaorbit.servlets.DynamicPagesEditServlet.HTTP_REQUEST_FIELD_KEY_ABOUT_PAGE_ID+"="+ResponseBean.getDynamicPagesID(0) ) %>">
If you can see this, your browser does not support iframes!
</iframe>
 
If the layout ID and the page ID are correctly passed along, then the "getDynamicPagesTemplateReference" and the "getDynamicLayoutsLayout" will point to the correct data.
 
However, they ID variables are not making it to this point as when the container iframes load, it just loads the default values.  
 
Again, the above syntax is working in other places of my code, just not the iframes.
 
FYI, these are all JSP pages.  Thanks for any help.
