DHTML window widget get title in iframe page

[vinny.benson]

1) Script Title: Dynamic Drive DHTML window widget

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex8/dhtmlwindow/

3) Describe problem:

I have created an iframe popup window using this script, and basically i want to create a function in the js file so i can access the popups title in the iframe page...

is the ifreme page of the same domain as the parent page launching the DHTML window? Also, by access the title, do you mean store it in a variable, or use it somewhere as part of the window's interface?

I figured it out

I just changed the following in the dhtmlwindow.load function



window.frames["_iframe-"+t.id].location.replace(contentsource)


TO



window.frames["_iframe-"+t.id].location.replace(contentsource+'?title='+title)

then accessed it in php on the iframe page


but I have one more question how would i go about minimizing and restoring the window using a button

basically I have added some code to add a button to my menu and i want it to hide/show the window onclick how would i do this

This is the code i tried but it doesn't seem to work:


var fishEyeElement = document.getElementById('fishEye');

fishEyeElement.innerHTML = fishEyeElement.innerHTML + '<li id="fisheye_'+t+'"><a class="dockItem" onclick="if(document.getElementById(\''+t+'\').style.display == \'none\') { dhtmlwindow.restore(\'Minimize\', \''+t+'\'); }else{ dhtmlwindow.minimize(\'Restore\', \''+t+'\') }"><img src="images/dock/'+t+'.png" alt="Home" title="Example&nbsp;1" /></a></li>'

Per this post (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/blog.php?b=31), to create a link that restores a DHTML window, try the syntax:


<a href="#" onClick="dhtmlwindow.minimize(googlewin.controls.firstChild, googlewin)">Minimize Window</a>

where "googlewin" in the above case is the variable assigned to the DHTML window when you opened it. For a restore link, the following should do it:


<a href="#" onClick="dhtmlwindow.restore(googlewin.controls.firstChild, googlewin)">Minimize Window</a>
