Accessing the Parent Frame

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 11.2010

I’m trying to figure out why this code isn’t working. I’m using an iframe and I have this code in the src file for that iframe.

[code=html]
if (parent.location == “http://domain.com/store.html”){
document.write(“********************************”);
}
[/code]

What really is throwing me off is that if I put in a redirect statement like:

[code=html]
parent.location = “http://domain.com”;
[/code]

That works fine.

I’ve tried self.parent.location, I’ve tried parent.window.location, I’ve tried parent.location.href, none of it works.

[/QUOTE]Do you have a querystring in your URL?

[I]parent.location[/I] or more correctly [I]parent.location.href[/I] must match "http://domain.com/store.html" exactly.

Try alerting [I]parent.location.href[/I]

Try:[CODE]if ( parent.location.href.indexOf( "http://domain.com/store.html") == 0 ){
document.write("********************************");
}[/CODE]

alert(parent.location.href);

It came up "undefined".
