Hidden Iframe not working in IE

[chandu2708]

Hi Coders,

Cpuold somebody help me on following case, what im trying to do here is create a dynamic hidden iframe and write a form into it and submit. this approach works in FireFox but not in IE7, below is the code im using

document.forms[form].appendChild(isProcessFQ);
var ifText = document.getElementById(rootElID).innerHTML;
var ifSubmit = document.createElement('iframe');
var ifSubmitID = 'inf-fq-process-' + sessionID;
ifSubmit.setAttribute('id',ifSubmitID);
ifSubmit.setAttribute('name',ifSubmitID);
ifSubmit.setAttribute('style','display: none');
document.getElementById(rootElID).appendChild(ifSubmit);
if(ifSubmit.contentDocument) {
doc = ifSubmit.contentDocument;
}else
if(ifSubmit.contentWindow) {
doc = ifSubmit.contentWindow;
}else
if (ifSubmit.document) {
doc = ifSubmit.document;
}
doc.open();
doc.write(ifText);
doc.close();
doc.forms[0].submit();

But when i run this in IE7 its openings a new blank window after the statement doc.open(); and shows some error(which has no useful details) and not maing any calls to server.

could somebody tell me how to fix this behaviour please.

Thank you,
bala.

Just a guess ...

if(ifSubmit.contentWindow) {
doc = ifSubmit.contentWindow.document;

Hi,

Thx for the reply. now the form is getting submitted. but hidden parameters that i have under the form (the ones i created dynamically) are not available on server side. i mean if try to access these parameters on the server side im getting null? as you see i added the same form that i have in the result page to the hidden iframe, if i submit the main form even with dynamic parameters i can access those on server side. this happens only in IE7, FF works fine. any help would be appriceated.

Thank you,
bala.

Too many unidentified variables there to really see what's happening. This is interesting:

var ifText = document.getElementById(rootElID).innerHTML;

Could you post that html string so we can see what's going into the iframe doc?
