@ck_net_2004Jul 09.2005

Ive got an Iframe in a page with an id and name of: ‘ horrorframe ‘,
and on load of the page it’s in, id like a function in the iframe to run.

but i dont want to add an onload to the iframes page.

how can i onload of the main page run a function in the Iframe?

@Mr_JJul 09.2005 — #Is the function going to be run every time a page is loaded into the iframe or only when certain pages are loaded?

Adding "onload" to the iframe pages may be the simplest of choices

@ck_net_2004authorJul 10.2005 — #Only when the page that contains the Iframe loads id like it to run a function

inside the Iframe.

for example:

page 1:

[code=php]
 <html>
 <head>
 <title>main page</title>
 </head>
 <body onload="in iframe run this function: dothis();">
 <iframe id="horrorframe" name="horrorframe" src="page2.htm" width="250" height="250"></iframe>
 </body>
 </html>
 [/code]

page 2:

[code=php]
 <html>
 <head>
 <title>iframe page</title>
 <script type="text/javascript">
 function dothis(){
 alert("hello world");
 }
 </script>
 </head>
 <body>
 hello
 </body>
 </html>
 [/code]

@Mr_JJul 10.2005 — #Try this

[code=php]<html> 
 <head> 
 <title>main page</title> 
 
 <script type="text/javascript">
 <!--
 
 function test(){
 window.frames['horrorframe'].dothis()
 }
 
 //-->
 </script>
 
 </head> 
 <body onload="test()"> 
 <iframe id="horrorframe" name="horrorframe" src="page2.htm" width="250" height="250"></iframe> 
 </body> 
 </html> [/code]
