Problem with path between parent and child html pages

sosuko

HI. I have a html page 'parent'. I have loaded an html page as 'child' through Object tag from parent html page.

Parent html page has a function callF()

I am trying to call callF() from child html page.

So, the code in the child html page would be:
parent.callF();

While Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox process the above code smoothly, Internet Explorer 6 & 7 gives error

When you talk about child and parent, do you mean windows or frames/iframes?

Some code may help pinpoint the problem.

PS. welcome to Bytes!

Thanks acorder :)

I mean to say I have used Object tag, instead of IFrame tag.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 function helpClicked() {

  this.document.getElementById('leftContent_div').innerHTML = '<'+'object id="homeComp" name="homeComp" type="text/html" data="help_left.html" width="604" height="690"><\/object>';

}

This is the function I am calling from child html page. The child html page itself is loaded with Object tag.

Please solve my problem.

Why not use an iframe? Any particular reason?

HI Acoder, sorry for replying so late.

I used an iFrame tag still its the same problem.

I have attached the two html files, please give me some solution.

If I change the object to an iframe, it works:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<iframe id="homeComp" src="child.html" width="400" height="400"></iframe>

Hi Acoder,

THANK you so much for your help, now my code is working fine on all browsers.
I am relieved as the project on which I am working is a big one.

That's good to hear. Good luck with the rest of your project.
