Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 01.2009

Hi, hoping someone can help me with an onload script.
I have a page with an IFRAME in it. When a page loads into my IFRAME i want the main/parent page to scroll down to where the IFRAME is positioned.
So i need an “onload” script to put into my page thats loading into the IFRAME that will call the parent to moveTo or scrollTo new position. I dont want the parent to scroll down until the child page loads. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance!

@auto_webFeb 04.2009 — put something like <a name="frame"></a> just before the iframe

and when linking to your page do it like link.html#frame

or see if this is of any help

@donbudzauthorFeb 04.2009 — Little more info on what I am doing.

I have a Flash Menu at the top of "Parent window" when a user clicks a button in the Flash Menu a page will load into the IFRAME. The IFRAME is located at bottom of "Parent window". It is located off screen the user will not see it load.

I need the "Parent window" to scroll down to the IFRAME when user clicks the button in the flash menu at the top of "Parent window". I need to have either a button action in Flash or a script in IFRAME page to scroll "Parent window" to IFRAME position. I do not want the "Parent window" to refresh as this will reload my flash movie. Thanks for any help. PS i am kinda a noobie!

@FangFeb 04.2009 — The document in the iframe must have an onload that scrolls the top document.

@donbudzauthorFeb 04.2009 — Thanks for the response Fang, however, its not working for me. I put the line u posted into my IFRAME page and it done nothing. I may not be putting the line into my code correctly. Is there a certain place I put this line or a tag i need to add to it? Thanks for your help with this.

@FangFeb 04.2009 — Isn't the forum loaded into [I]communicator_main[/I]?

@donbudzauthorFeb 04.2009 — um ya... 'bout that..


Index is the parent page,

first generation IFRAME is "communicator"

second generation IFRAME is "communicator_main"

"generalforum_loader.html" loads into "communicator_main"

then the forum loads... "/general/index.php"

@donbudzauthorFeb 05.2009 — Flash movie to link to HTML anchor:

FLASH BUTTON ACTION (link to anchor)

"flash.swf" movie
[CODE]on (release) {
getURL("my.html#bottom");
}[/CODE]

HTML CODE (anchor) placed rite above IFRAME or any location you want in the HTML

"my.html" page
[CODE]<a name="bottom"></a>
[/CODE]
Also this works without refreshing the page!

Thanks Auto_Web and Fang for your help.

@donbudzauthorFeb 05.2009 — ok.. my bad it refreshes the parent page. For whatever reason it only does it once.. then no more refreshing.. weird. I'm lookin for away to goto anchor without refresh.

@donbudzauthorFeb 05.2009 — Think I have got it now!!


To keep Main/Parent page from reloading when linking to the

anchor, I simply put the anchor in the IFRAME page.

Had to change the Flash Button Action a bit.

Flash Button Action (targeting anchor within IFRAME page)
[CODE]on (release) {
getURL("my.html#bottom", "IFRAME_name");
}[/CODE]
Thanks, later dudes
