Hi
This is my first post here @ DD - I hope u guys can help me caus I'm seriously stuck on this problem!!
Basically, I've got 2 Iframes in my 'Index.htm' with a basic menu system in the Index used to call the links to the 'Main' Iframe.
IFRAME NAMES AND DESCRIPTIONS:
------------------------------------------
‘InfoBox’: Positioned as a header, used to display information / description relevant to the file that gets loaded to the Main Iframe via the basic nav system.
‘Main’: Main viewable area and where the urls that are in the menu system gets loaded.
---------------------------------
For the record: Because the site is linked to an external programme, I can't let the navigation system send information to both Iframes (due to restrictions).
THE BASIC FLOW AND MY QUESTION:
User clicks on link --> Loads relevant page to 'Main' Iframe --> Onload function within the loaded page then loads the page's relevant Info / Description into the 'Info' Iframe.
The info for each page is stored on one Html with bookmarks for each individual page.
A normal link to get there would be:
<a href="info.htm#page5" target="InfoBox">.
If I make a clickable <a href> link 2 send info to the 'InfoBox' Iframe - then it works.
But as soon as I do an OnLoad function or use any other script to send stuff to the external Iframe - the 'environment' or IE just doesn't see the external IFrame (InfoBox)?? Why then does a silly <a href> see it and an Onload function doesn't??????? :mad:
I think what I need is a script to recognise an external Iframe?
Please help!!!!!!!!!!! :confused:
Thanks in advance!
