javascript window transfer
I have an iframe sitting on a page. when I click on a link I would like the information about the url of the iframe to be passed along with the page info. is there javascript that can accomplish that?
something like this:
function processForm(theForm, theURL, windowName, features) {
var dest = "";
var newURL = theURL;
dest = document.ratesform.destina
newURL = theURL + "?destination=" + escape(dest);
window.open(newURL, windowName, features);
return false;
}
something like this:
function processForm(theForm, theURL, windowName, features) {
var dest = "";
var newURL = theURL;
dest = document.ratesform.destina
newURL = theURL + "?destination=" + escape(dest);
window.open(newURL, windowName, features);
return false;
}

from outside the iframe I need to get the URL of the iframe and pass it through as a parameter. This example is similar to what I want to but it doesnt show me how to get the url of the contents of the iframe.
To get the URL of the contents of the IFrame just use :
document.all.iframeid.src
for example:
<BODY onload="alert(document.all
<IFRAME id="moshe" src="http://www.yahoo.com"></IFRAME>
document.all.iframeid.src
for example:
<BODY onload="alert(document.all
<IFRAME id="moshe" src="http://www.yahoo.com"></IFRAME>

this is what I have on my page, it pops up a window on IE both on the MAc and PC, but it will not work on Netscape, why?
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function processForm() {
var dest = document.all.causes_iframe
alert(dest);
return false;
}
//-->
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function processForm() {
var dest = document.all.causes_iframe
alert(dest);
return false;
}
//-->
</script>
document.all dosen;t work in NS.
IFRAME also won't work in Netscape.
You should try and use ILAYER instead for NS. But you are getting into a complicated CrossBrowsers issue.

iframes work in Netscape 6, this pop up doesnt work in Netscape 6. is there something like document.all that does work in netscape and IE?
Oh ... I thought you were talking about NS4.x.
Please ignore the previous comment.
Anyway , to do this in NS6 try :
document.getElementById("c

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function processForm() {
var dest = document.getElementById("c
alert(dest);
return false;
}
