Iframe submit issue in Firefox

4 New Member

Hello,

I have following scenario in my web application.
I want to load different web forms in single iframe. Iframe in contained in an ASP page. ASP page has “Submit” button, which submits iframe form, & then load new form in same frame.

This is more like slide show of child forms. ASP button also has “Back” button which loads previously submitted form in same iframe. On click of “submit” button, it resubmits child form.

This works fine in IE 6. But in firefox “re-submission” of form does not take place. So that in firefox, child form gets submitted only once.

Sample code

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 function setURL(form_url)

{

var iframe = “<iframe id= iframe name= “ + form_label + “ src= ” + form_url;

document.getElementById(“div_name”).innerHTML = iframe;

}
 
function submitForm()

{

    var frameObj = window.frames.form_label;

    if(frameObj.document.childForm)

    {

        frameObj.document.childForm.submit();

            setURL(nextForm_url);

        }

}

above if condition fails in firefox when same child form(i.e with form_label value) is reloaded in iframe. Same code works fine in IE.

Thanks in advanced.

I have a very similar problem, i think this is an Firefox bug. I have posted it an i am waiting for an answer...

We have the next situation:
- page with an iframe.
- the iframe contents a function called f().

We want to load the iframe and execute a function inside iframe from outside iframe.

We follow the next steps:

Step 1 - Button "load div_content": Ok.

Step 2 - Execute function f()
Execute function from inside iframe: Ok.
Execute function from outside iframe: Ok.

Step 3 - View location.href of iframe: Ok.
From inside: Ok.
From outside: Ok.

And we go to the beginning:

Step 1 - Reload div_content: Ok.

Step 2 - Execute function f()
Execute function from inside iframe: Ok.
Execute function from outside iframe: ERROR.

Step 3 - View location.href of iframe
From inside: Ok.
From outside: ERROR.

The second time we load the div_content with the same code, the function f() inside iframe is not accessible.

If we load the div_content with the same code changing the name of iframe (idFrame, idFrame2, idFrame3,...) the first load works fine, but if we reload an ancient iframe the function inside iframe is not accessible.

I got solution to my problem,

In my case I need to gave unique name to iframe each time.

With this dynamically given name I'm able to access the form loaded in iframe each time.

Thanks for support. :)

problem with IE and (ajax) file upload via iframe: javascript error access denied/zugriff verweigert

by: markus.rietzler | last post by:

i want to do (multiple) file upload(s) and display a progress bar. with firefox and safari it is no problem at all. only IE makes some problems. my script is based on ajax-uploader, which can be found at www.srmiles.com/freestuff/ajax_file_uploader/ . you can do multiple file uploads. each upload will have it's own "form"-tag, so that each file is uploaded for its own. could be a good solution if there are "big" uploads.
