Updating an IFRAME with form data

[Ollie Hoad]

Hello all,

I am helping to develop a system in which we would like the user to have the ability to type in a message and set its text colour, and then be able to preview what they entered into the form within an IFRAME on the same page.

So basically I would like a simple form with 2 text fields and a submit button. The user enters some text and a hex value into the text fields and presses submit. What they entered is captured into variables, which are used by and displayed within the IFRAME.

Basically, I need to know whether this can be done.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Heya, Ollie.

Try using:

var thePfhrame = documet.getElementById('idOfIframe');
 
thePfhrame.document.open();
thePfhrame.document.write( ... );
thePfhrame.document.close();
