Hello,

I have iframe with src attribut, to load an external document. ? If i add onmouseover with window.status=’text’ to my iframe, it has no effect, when I actually point to a link from that document. :rolleyes:

Some ideas? ?

@mishkinSep 01.2006 — #try this: <div onMouseOver="window.status='text'"><iframe></iframe></div>

@s5jzauthorSep 01.2006 — #No success. I think I have to reffer to that external document link somehow and maybe not by iframe onmouseover. I tried frames['iframename'].document.links[0].onmouseover but it's a no go. :rolleyes:

@mishkinSep 01.2006 — #it may work if you reference a jscript function that changes the window status instead of doing it directly in the element.

@s5jzauthorSep 01.2006 — #i did manage to change window status but it appears that when I actually point to a link it overrides the changed status (it shows when I stop pointing to a link) :rolleyes:

@mishkinSep 01.2006 — #That's totally normal, hovering the cursor over a link always shows the link's URL in the status bar... I figure if you take your window.status function and place OnmouseOver in the actual <a href> tags you should avoid the change when you hover over the link.

@s5jzauthorSep 01.2006 — #I would, but its an external document witch I can't change...

@mishkinSep 01.2006 — #that's not completely true...

you can actually edit the code of another site appearing in a frame of your site. (sort of)

I haven't tested this, but it may work.

check it out:

<iframe id="myFrame"></iframe>

Then do this:

theFrame = document.getElementById("myFrame");

if(theFrame.contentDocument)

{

displayedPage = theFrame.contentDocument;

linksFromPage = displayedPage.getElementsByTagName("a")

}

And that will give you an array of every link on the person's page. You can then run the array through a for loop that does this:

linksFromPage[i].setAttribute("onMouseOver","window.status='whatever'")

This will allow you control the actual code in someone else's page when being viewed through your iframe.
