History ignoring iFrames.

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 27.2004

Hi there,

I got iFrames in my page and created a back button with Javascript (onclick=”window.history.go(-1)”). The back button isn’t placed in the iFrame.
Whenever I hit my back button it first skips through the history of the iFrames, then it follows the history of the main window. How can I let my back button only refer to the mian window and ignore the iFrames?

@gil_davisJul 27.2004 — An IFRAME has its own history, separate from all other histories. If you have an IFRAME named xyz, you would use
window.top.xyz.history.go(-1);

@samdeskinApr 19.2006 — I have two iframes on a page and I am trying to control the history of each one separately.

Giving the iframe a name and the back and forward buttons the same name seems to have screwed it up.... Any suggestions...

<div align="center"> <center> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" height="85%" bordercolor="#000000"> <tr> <td width="50%">


<iframe align="center" width="100%" height="85%" src="http://google.com" frameborder=yes name="myIframe" id="myIframe"> </iframe>

<p align="center"><p align="center">


<input type="button" VALUE="<< Back" onClick="history.go(-1)">

<input type="button" VALUE="Forward >>" OnClick="history.go(1)">

<p></td><td width="50%">

<iframe align="center" width="100%" height="85%" src="http://microsoft.com" frameborder=yes name="myIframe2" id="myIframe"> </iframe>

<p align="center"><p align="center">

<input type="button" VALUE="<< Back" onClick="myIframe2.history.go(-1)">

<input type="button" VALUE="Forward >>" OnClick="myIframe2.history.go(1)">

</td> </tr> </table> </center></div>

<input type="button" VALUE="<< Back" onClick="[color=red]history.go(-1)[/color]">

<input type="button" VALUE="Forward >>" OnClick="[color=red]history.go(1)[/color]">

You need to put "myIframe1." in front of the stuff in red.

Success!
