Hmm. Can we see more of your page? I tried this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function hidediv(){
document.getElementById("frame").contentDocument.getElementById("area").style.display = "none";
}
</script>
and it worked for me. Also, what does it alert? Null, Object, Undefined?

If you access the iframe as a part of the window.frames collection, like - say it was the first iframe on the page:


alert(window.frames[0].document.getElementById('area').innerHTML);

It's much simpler. When you access the iframe as an element on the page, the object that represents the content document actually varies from browser to browser.

Now i can rich iframe content with this code

var oIframe = document.getElementById('frame1');
var oDoc = (oIframe.contentWindow || oIframe.contentDocument);
if (oDoc.document) oDoc = oDoc.document;
alert(oDoc.getElementById('frame1').id);//Show id in message box


but i cant use this code

oDoc.getElementById('area').focus ;

i cant focus so i cant change my text editor content

Note: i am making sitebuilder for university and user can edit his or her content and when he wants to prewiev i want to call iframe it looks like so simple but i cant please help if anyone has a simple editor not like FCKEditor ...
Thanks..

That other problem wouldn't happen to be that you are trying to populate a textarea rather than a div tag? If so, you need to access its value, not its innerHTML:


window.frames[fr].document.getElementById(el_id).value=txt;

My email is available if you click on my user name wherever it is a link on this forum. That will take you to my View Profile where there is information for contacting me. I would rather not actually publish my email address here for obvious reasons.
