javascript if statent

[Dan]

Hi

I am trying to use this javascript code to see if a frame is part of a
parent. It displays yes when it is part of a parent, but my only
problem is that it doesn't display no when it is not part of a parent.
In other words, when top.bob.document.title = test it displays yes, but
when it isn't test it doesn't display anything.

<script>
if (top.bob.document.title == "test"){
document.write("yes")
}
else{
document.write("no")
}
</script>

Because if top.bob doesn't exist, then attempting top.bob.document will
cause an error and the script won't run. The JavaScript console will
have a message like:

'top.bob has no properties'


<script>
The type attribute is required:

<script type="text/javascript">

if (top.bob.document.title == "test"){

if (top
&& top.bob
&& tob.bob.document.title
&& tob.bob.document.title == 'test'){

Okay now I have the following code but it doesn't display anything if
it is part of a parent:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (top
&& top.bob
&& tob.bob.document.title
&& tob.bob.document.title == "test"){
document.write("yes")
}
else{
document.write("no")
}
</script>

I made a mess of it - look for 'tob', sheesh - early Monday ain't my
best time of the day. Forget the other post, use the stuff below.

If the script is in a document loaded into a frame, then:
<script type="text/javascript">

var o;
if ( (o = top)
&& (o = o.frames)
&& (o = o.bob)
&& (o = o.document)
&& (o = o.title)
&& o == "test"
){
document.write("yes")
} else {
document.write("no")
}
</script>

But if the script is in 'top', you can't get access to the document in
the iFrame until after the frame has loaded, so use an onload function:

<script type="text/javascript">

window.onload = function(){
var o;
if ( (o = top)
&& (o = o.frames)
&& (o = o.bob)
&& (o = o.document)
&& (o = o.title)
&& o == "test"
){
alert('bob and test found');
} else {
alert('bob or test not found');
}
}

</script>

[...]
And remember cross-domain issues with getting access to the iFrame content.
