Object for iframe not being created

3 New Member

Hi Experts,
I am trying this bit of code which is not working right.

<script language="JavaS cript" type="text/JavaScript">

</script>
__________
document.getEle mentById("statu sUpdate").inner HTML += "<input type='checkbox' id = 'demogexcel' name='demogexce l' value='DEMOG' onClick='showHi de(\"demog\")'> &nbspYes/ No </td> ";

document.getEle mentById("statu sUpdate").inner HTML += "</tr><tr width='100%'><t d width='100%' colspan='4' valign='middle' class='verdanab lue'>";

document.getEle mentById("statu sUpdate").inner HTML += "<iframe id=\"demog\" name=\"demog\" display='none' width='100%;' height='100px' border= '0px' bgcolor='e6e8ed ' scrolling='yes' FRAMEBORDER=0 ></iframe></td>";

document.getEle mentById("statu sUpdate").inner HTML += "</tr></table>";

Here, when the checkbox created innerHtml named demogexcel is clicked, the showHide function is called. I have also confirmed that demog value is passed to it correctly. However the line var x = new getObj(divName) ; does not create an object for the iframe - demog. Please can anybody help me with this.
I have also tried putting the name of the iframe in singlequotes.

I have tried the similar thing in another asp and it works perfectly fine, but in that case the iframe is created simple in a table and not in innerhtml of any object.

Is there any other alternative to doing this?

Thanks,
K

Hi,
I am testing this code in IE 6.0 and the code does not give any error
The basic functionaltiy that I want to achieve is
1. Ask the user if he wants to upload an excel spreadsheet with the 'demogexcel checkbox'.
2. If the user checks the checkbox, I have written the code to upload the excel in another asp page which I want to display in the 'iframe demog'
3. I also tried the following - in showhide(divNam e) funtion and it works fine.

var x = new getObj("demog") ;
alert(x.obj.id) ; // displays the id of the iframe correctly.

But the below 2 lines dont work but also do not give any error
x.style.display = "";
x.src="www.goog le.com";

Am I doing something wrong??
The same thing works fine in another asp where the iframe object is created normally and not in the innerHTML code.
Hope I have explained my problem well.

Thanks!

do you see the iframe? in case you don't see it ... perhaps you pm me the generated html-page and i'll have a look about it ... when it's not too much code you may post it here instead ... may be there is something wrong with the dom that you create with innerHTML?

kind regards

Hi Gits,

Yes, I do see the iframe.
The showHide(divNam e) function is also called properly with iframe value demog.
Infact when I tried
var x = new getObj(divName) ;
alert(x.obj.id) ; // this line displays the id of the iframe correctly.
But
x.src="www.goog le.com"; // this line does not give any error but does not execute properly.

How can I send you the entire code, if possible. Its too big to paste it here.

Thanks,
K

hi ...

as far as i can see from the code you sent to me it works like the following (i do it with pseudocode ... its really a lot of code otherwise ;) ):

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <script>

    // here are some scripts defined the following method too

    function showHide(divName) {

        // do something

    }

</script>

<body>

    <script>

        // the problem is here !!! when you use document.getElementById();

        // this will be executed during load where the dom is not really 

        // (reliable) ready yet so the solution is to put it in a function in your 

        // above script-area and call that function with onload of the body 

    </script>

</body>

read the comments in the above pseudocode ... i think you will understand the problem and the solution ;) and i discovered that 'demog' is a duplicate id for a table and your iframe ... when making it unique ... it worked for me ... so:

first: make the id unique
second: try to put all js-operations with getElementBy... () in onload

kind regards

Javascript created IFrame document, weird domain issue

I have an IFrame whose document is created completely by Javascript code at runtime. The document in the IFrame accesses Javascript functions in the top level document.
