Iframe load problem

3 New Member
I am trying to load page into iframe in IE7 and change the page bgColor after
the page has loaded.

I tried 2 options:
1. Change the iframe.src from the parent to the new URL.
2. Write div element into the iframe using document.write()
Retrieve the URL using xmlhttp object.
set the div.innerHTML to the xmlHttp.responseText;


The problems:
In option 1 , when trying to access the loaded page in the iframe I get
javascript error access denied.
In option 2 , I can access the page and change the bgColor
but the page is loaded differently in a different look and feel
it seems that the css is not effecting.

Any comments / ideas / other approaches will be welcome.

Is the page from your server?

Post your code so someone can pinpoint the problem.

No the page is loaded from the web.

That is probably why you're getting the access denied error.

As for the css, it is a relative reference, so you will have to make it absolute.

Please see the code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <html>
  2.   <body> 
  3.     <script>
  4.      var xmlHttp= false; 
  5.      function writeResponseHtml() {
  6.            // if xmlhttp shows "loaded"
  7.           if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4) {
  8.  
  9.                if (xmlHttp.status==200) {
  10.                    // ...some code here...
  11.                       response = xmlHttp.responseText;
  12.  
  13.                    //write the HTML to the iframe  
  14.                        try {

  27.  
  28.      function option1(url) {
  29.

  31.       // always works but with no ability to touch the loaded page
  32.  
  33.          frames['contentiFrame'].location.href=url; 
  34.          return true;
  35.       }

  44.           try {

  46.              } catch (e) {

  50.                                xmlHttp = false;
  51.                         }
  52.                }
  53.              if (!xmlHttp && typeof XMLHttpRequest != 'undefined') {

  60.       }
