I got the following script but I discovered that it doesn’t work in Firefox.

Why?

Thanks in advance.

[CODE]<html>
<head>
<title>URL Switcher</title>

<script language=”JavaScript”>
var i = 0;
var url_array = new Array();
url_array[0] = “http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=IBj1aJBvjYE&feature=related”;
url_array[1] = “http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=qjSOz5w1GHI”;
url_array[2] = “http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=IifX6TbZuuQ”;
url_array[3] = “http://www.friends-dating.co.uk/action_home+page.htm”;
url_array[4] = “http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=T4jdhGKekCo”;
url_array[5] = “http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=J7EY7wYhxow”;

function changeURL(ms) {
document.frames[‘my_frame’].location.replace(url_array[i]);
i = (i+1)%url_array.length;
setTimeout(“changeURL(“+ms+”)”, ms);
}
</script>

</head>
<body style=”margin:0px; overflow-y:hidden” onLoad=”changeURL(5000);”>
<iframe name=”my_frame” width=”100%” height=”100%” border=”0″ frameborder=”0″></iframe>
</body>
</html>[/CODE]

@zoffmannauthorDec 21.2007 — I think that this one didn't work, but I will try one more time.

but I wrote like this

[CODE]window.frames['my_frame'].location = url_array[i] ;[/CODE]

and it seems working

Please if I have wrong correct me. ?


I have two more questions:

  • 1. is there any good specification of javascript objects and functions on the Internet


  • 2. and if it exists some good free (or cheap) editor ?

    @zoffmannauthorDec 21.2007 — but here is a issue which I noticed before with frames.

    if I have address of some page and want to open into the frame area then the whole page takes whole the browser window and the frame dissapears, and even my script stops working.

    Is some work around to prevent this behaviour?

    @FangDec 21.2007 — Use the target name to open the document in the required frame.

    @zoffmannauthorDec 21.2007 — how do I put target option in my javascript piece of code:

    [CODE]window.frames['my_frame'].location = url_array[i] ;[/CODE]
    Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
    @FangDec 21.2007 — With [I]frames['my_frame'][/I]
    Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
    @zoffmannauthorDec 21.2007 — this is chicken and egg situation ?

    and as I understood[I] frames['my_frame'][/I] has the same function as the[I] target[/I]

    but when I use my piece of code window.frames['my_frame'].location = url_array[i] ; to open webpages some pages "doesn't listen" the script:

    They don't open in the frame - they take the whole browser window and script stops working
    Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
    @FangDec 21.2007 — If the pages you are opening in your frames are not yours then these documents are using 'frame busters' to break out of your frames.

    There is nothing you can do to prevent this.
    Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
    @zoffmannauthorDec 21.2007 — That's what I suspected. ?

    Is there some technology (programming language )which can cope with frame busters?
