Iframes and form submit...help :(

[Gibson]

Hi,

I need a bit of help on javascript code(i know very little about it!)

I have 2 forms, One on the mainpage and the other in an iframe on the main page.

What i would like to do is when i submit the form on the main page it will also submit the form in the iframe.

Can any one help please ?

Many thanks

I suppose you could generally write to it with:
document.your_i_frame_name.document.write('yadda,yadda');

And i guess you'd submit with:
document.your_i_frame_name.document.your_form_name.submit();

I haven't tried it though.

Hi,

I managed to find the solution here it is:

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" onClick="parent.frameName.document.formName.buttonName.click()">
</FORM>

Hope that helps some one in the future

You should rather use straight the submit method than emulate the click() event (which could not be crossbrowser)

onclick="parent.frameName.document.formName.submit()"

- but make sure there is no element with the name or id = "submit"
