storing html into javascript variable

[fallen angel]

hi, i have a simlpe question.

i need to store html into variable.

var myCode = "<div><iframe scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"1\" style=\"position:absolute;width:225px;height:160px;border:none;display:block;z-index:0\"></iframe></div>"
 

apparently it produces an error, why?
i can store any html into a variable except when i store html with <iframe> tags,
why is that so?

hi ...

what error do you get? and when?

kind regards

what i mean by error is that no output is displayed. try opening:
http://www.glitzy3.com/colors.php
if you click choose color, it will open. BUT if i include in my script a variable that will hold information with the "<iframe>" tag, then nothing displays if you press "choose color", implying that there is an error in script, right?
(ps: in IE it displays error in that status bar)

i can declare a variable that will hold example:

var myCode = "<div width=\"100px\" height=\"20px\"><p>this html code is stored in myCode variable</p></div>"
 

but i CANNOT have a variable that will hold <iframe> tags like example:

var myCode = "<div><iframe scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"1\" style=\"position:absolute;width:225px;height:160px;border:  none;display:block;z-index:0\"></iframe></div>"
 

is there something wrong with <iframe> tag of not being able to be contained in a variable?

do you assign a src-document to the iframe in any way when using it?

are you getting a javascript error or nothing is happening?

nop. i don't assign a src-doc to it. since the <iframe> is a window-based component like the <select>, i use it to solve the IE <select> OVERLAP BUG. in that it overlaps the select components and then my color table can be put ontop of the <iframe>.

i searched the web and that is the best solution they had for offer and it does work satisfactorily. Since i coudn't put the <iframe> into a variable within the color table function, i just put it in the main doc as plain html before i called the color table function in an external .js file.

but anyways thanx for your help. i think i can live with that hehehehe...
hop you'll answer my future questions

kind regards also hehehe..

hi ...

of course we will answer :) ... however, how do you use the stored html from your varible? setting innerHTML? did you try to use createElement and appendChild instead ... may be that could solve your problem?

kind regards
