Inject XML into iframe along with styling

[Samji]

Hello everyone.

I am trying to write out the contents of a tag in an XML document to an iframe.
I can do that successfully with the following code...

function constructMsgBody() 
{
    // constuct message body from "message" tags;
    // write out to iframe on view message dialog
    var message = msgsfile.getElementsByTagName("message")[msg].firstChild.nodeValue;
    var writemsg = parent.frames['msgframe'];
    writemsg.document.open();
    writemsg.document.write(message);
    writemsg.document.close();
}
 

But how can I get the stylesheet (CSS) referenced in the XML document to be applied to what I have injected into the iframe. Do I have to load the line where the stylesheet declaration occurs? This code is for a Firefox extension I am working on.

Thanks in advance.

See the quirksmode page on this and, after that, the howtocreate page (and this) which extends the original script to include other methods including iframes.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. I'll take a look.

Thanks. I'll take a look.

I took a look at those pages and it seems like a lot of extra coding. Is there a way I could just write the whole document out to the iframe and then just hide the contents of the tags I don't want displayed?

Hmmm... maybe I can use this: :D
