Passing values to a form in an IFrame

camerch · 09-22-2004, 06:34 AM

Is it possible to pass variables to a input field in a form that is in an IFrame window?

I've tried:

Code:

 <div class="panel" id="PPpanel" align="center" style="display: none;">
<iframe align="middle" frameborder="0" id="PPpanelIframe" name="PPpanelIframe" scrolling="auto" src="http://www.attwireless.com/ocs" title="Window" width="100%" height="300"></iframe>
		</div>

javascript: PPpanelIframe.LoginForm.min.value="attwireless";

Code:

 <div class="panel" id="PPpanel" align="center" style="display: none;">
<iframe align="middle" frameborder="0" id="PPpanelIframe" name="PPpanelIframe" scrolling="auto" src="http://www.attwireless.com/ocs" title="Window" width="100%" height="300"></iframe>
		</div>

    var iframe = document.getElementById('PPpanelIframe');
    var minUser = iframe.document.getElementById('WirelessNo');
    var minPass = iframe.document.getElementById('Password');

Please if any can help I appreciate it greatly!

parent.html

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Parent</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<iframe id="iframe" src="child.html"></iframe>
		<input type="button" value="Go" onclick="document.getElementById('iframe').contentDocument.getElementById('txt').value = 'test successful';">
	</body>
</html>

child.html

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Child</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<input id="txt" type="text">
	</body>
</html>

This works in Gecko browsers and Opera.

can you get the same code as this to work in IE, i am trying to make a page that auto logs in another website by opening that page within a IFRAME

that's simple:

document.getElementById('iframe').contentWindow.document.getElementById('txt').value = 'test successful';

is cross-browser.
