Alter an iFrame source (src) from a User Control

Hi,

to do that you have to use RegisterClientScriptBlock method like this:

 Dim scriptString as String = "<script language=JavaScript> your_iFrame_id.src = 'your_new_html_page';"
        scriptString += "</script>"
     
            If(Not IsClientScriptBlockRegistered("clientScript"))
        RegisterClientScriptBlock("clientScript", scriptString)
        End If
put this in your button click event and it will be executed when you press the button

Hi BM

Thanks for the quick response .... I've added in the code you suggested but when I click the button apart from the page refreshing nothing happens ?!? ... hope you can help.

Cheers

I'm not quite sure ( i can not tested this right now ) but have you checked if on the second click the src of the iframe was changed ?
if the answer is "YES" - then you have to add the
your_iFrame_id.src = 'your_new_html_page';" line
on your onclick client event in your Page Load like this:

btnChangeIFrameSrc.Attributes.Add ("onclick", "your_iFrame_id.src = 'your_new_html_page'; return false;" )

this will add the client onclick event to your button on the page load and when you click the button page will not be submitted but the src of the iFrame should be changed

post if you have problems

Hi BM

Tried that and I'm afraid had no joy with it. It looks like its entering the script OK because if i deliberately enter something incorrect in to the script i get a script debug error when i click the button. Ity just does not seem to actually do anything when i click it.

Please see an extract of my code below :

In User Control ctlCommand I have the following repeater which inserts the button based on a Db query :

                  <table id="tblCommand">
                        <asp:repeater id="rptLinks" runat="server">
                              <ItemTemplate>
                                    <TR>
                                          <td align="center" nowrap>
                                                <asp:button CausesValidation=False CssClass="cmdBtnStyle" OnClick="btnOnClick"  id="btnMainCommand" Text='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ButtonText")%>' runat="server" >
                                                </asp:button>
                                          </td>
                                    </TR>
                              </ItemTemplate>
                        </asp:repeater></table>

This control is then "dropped" on to defaultMain.aspx, within defaultMain is an iFrame called ifrmMain. At present the code below (with ctlCommand)  runs on the onlclick event for any of the buttons pressed in the user control :

    Public Sub btnOnClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Dim scriptString As String = "<script language=JavaScript>ifrmMain.src = 'defaultlogin.aspx';"
        scriptString += "</script>"

        If (Not Page.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered("clientScript")) Then
            Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("clientScript", scriptString)
        End If

    End Sub

Hope this helps
