controling iframe address Help Please.

**leomoon** · 11-17-2007, 04:44 AM

Hi, I have a little problem.
I want to make a little web app that will do this:
There will be a text field on top, beside it "Go", "Refresh", "Back" "Forward" buttons. After those there will be an iframe that will open www.google.com for example. Now I want to do this. I want to be able to type an address in that text field and when I hit "Go" button, it changes the address of the iframe. And other functions for other buttons to control the iframe. I searched lots of websites and I couldn't find anything useful.

If anyone knows or knows an example of this on the internet, please help me.

Tnx. Waiting for your reply.

You must use php, you cant do that with html only. Simple example that i made:

PHP Code:


<html> 



<head> 



<title>Iframe testing</title> 



</head> 



<body> 





<form action="#" target="window"> 

<input type=button value="Back" onClick="javascript:history.go(-1)"> 



<input type=button value="Refresh" onClick="history.go()"> 



<input type = "button" value = "Forward" onClick = "window.history.go(1)"> 



</form> 



<form action="#" method="get">  

  

<input type="text" name="url" size="10">  

<input type=submit value="Go">  



</form> 





<?php 



$page = $_GET['url'];  



?> 



<iframe  name="window" src="<?php echo $page;?>"></iframe> 



</body> 



</html>
