Re: Referncing a JS generated iframe

Hi Pan,

sorry I've not got back sooner!

I can give you an example, but I'll have to edit it down for clarity.

the main page contains a holding div with another div that contains an
iframe:

    <div id="dvTop" class="dvfr">
        <div id="dvFr0" class="dvfr" style="display: block">
            <iframe id="fr0" src="" height="100%" width="100%"
frameborder="0" onload="loaded(this)"></iframe>
        </div>
    </div>

I have an array of page sets I might need to load:

    var sets={
        "choose":["list.aspx","details.aspx"],
       
"craft":["pageManager.aspx","versionManager.aspx","gManager.aspx","audience.aspx","selectEdit.aspx","viewEdit.aspx","bulkEdit.aspx"],
        "report":["parameters.aspx","results.aspx","layout.aspx"]
    }
    var curSet;

and I have a function which loads these pages in sets:

     function loadSet(set){
        if(set!=curSet){
            curSet=set
            carnet=getEl("dvTop")
            sheets=carnet.getElementsByTagName("div")
            frmModel = sheets[0].cloneNode(true)
            for(i=sheets.length-1;i>=0;i--){
                carnet.removeChild(sheets[i])
            }
            for(i=0;i<sets[set].length;i++){
                clnSheet = frmModel.cloneNode(true)
                clnSheet.id="dvFr"+i
                clnSheet.style.display="none"
                ifr=clnSheet.getElementsByTagName("iframe")[0]
                ifr.id="fr"+i
                ifr.src=""
                carnet.appendChild(clnSheet)
                frames[i].location.replace("../scheduling/"+sets[set][i])
            }
            carnet.getElementsByTagName("div")[0].style.display="block"
            frames[0].location.replace("../entry/"+sets[set][0])
        }
     }

that's it

Any more questions - feel free to ask

Cheers

Michel
