I have the following code in my page
<html>
<head>
<title>testpage</title>
<script language = 'javascript'>function fchange(){alert(document.getElementById("ifrm").value);</script>
</head>
<body>
<iframe id = 'ifrm' src = 'http://www.google.com' width = '700' height='500'></iframe><input type='button' onclick = 'fchange()' value = 'clickhere'>
</body>
</html>
From this I click the button and an alert box dispalys undefined. But I need the content or the source of the page ('http://www.google.com'). Please help me to do this.
Thanks in advance...
You can't do this, as it breaks the same-origin policy.
If both pages are on the same domain then you can with do what #Joel suggests, or the slightly more old fashioned:
window.frames['ifrm'].document.body.innerHTML;
You'll need <iframe name="ifrm" ...> for this to work.
If you want the source of the iframe, you would need to access the document object of the iframe.
function fchange()
{
alert(document.getElementById("ifrm").contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML);
}
As mentioned by others, you cannot get the source of an iframe which points to a page outside your domain.
You need to have back-end script for that. I think that's the only way. AJAX would not allow to make a request to other domains for security reasons.

how to change title of web page with javascript from <object> tag?
this code from main.html that include <object>
<html>
<head>
<title>main title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>home</h1>
<div>
<object type="text/html" data="home.html"></object>
</div>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
and in home.html i want change main.html <title> tag with home title by click a button
this code from my home.html
<html>
<body>
<button onclick="home();">change main title</button>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
and this my javascript code
function home() {
window.parent.title = "home title";
}
There are possibly two problems here:
First, title is a property of the document object, it isn't a global. So you need:
window.parent.document.title
Second, if you open the developer tools in your browser and look at the Console. You may see an error message along the lines of:
Uncaught DOMException: Permission denied to access property "title" on cross-origin object
Communicating across frames isn't possible unless you are loading them from the same origin using HTTP (or HTTPS).
Make sure your documents are loaded from a web server and not directly from your disk.
(Although see the postMessage API).
Try document.title = "".
Something tells me that your time spent on researching has been very limited, but here you go.
You can change web-page title via document.title
function home() {
document.title = "home title";
}
Use window.parent.document.title to access the title of the parent document. See this question.
Maybe try this. Seems to be working here: link
function home() {
window.document.title = "home title";
}
I would like to a HTML code with the following functions if you guys can help , please.
Once the page loads, after 1 second to auto click on a hyperlinked text , how do I do this ? For the new website to be opened in the same window.
I have this code but this one is sending me to a new window and the pop up is blocking - not good
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<head>
<script>
function autoClick(){
document.getElementById('linkToClick').click();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="setTimeout('autoClick();',700);">
<a id="linkToClick" href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">GOOGLE</a>
</body>
</body>
</html>
Thanks
Instead of using <a href=> you should try just setting the variable window.location.href. So your code should look something like this:
<body onload="window.location.href='http://www.google.com',700);">
https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_redirect_webpage.asp
Let me preface this by saying this is extremely questionable when it comes to web design, and generally regarded as a shady or bad practice. That said:
$(window).on('load', function(){
window.location = 'http://example.com'
});
OR (vanilla JS)
window.onload = function(){ window.location = 'http://example.com' };
Again, be careful with this. If you want to do something like this, you need a pretty good reason why.

I'm trying to change the value of a text box within iframe.
I have tried using GetElementById in every way i could find and nothing seems to work.
I found a alternative to iframe by using the Object data tag but it has the same problem.
My code more or less, I changed it a bit for presentation:
<html>
<head>
<title>None</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeValue() {
var textBox = document.getElementById('userName');
textBox = "hello!";
}
</script>
<iframe id="myFrame" src="http://www.website.com"></iframe>
<input type="button" onclick="changeValue()" value="Submit">
</body>
</html>
This is not possible for security reasons.
If you had access, you would be able to load, say facebook.com in an iframe on your website and extract user details with JavaScript.
Try something along the lines of
document
.getElementById('myFrame')
.contentWindow
.document
.getElementById('userName')
.value='hello';
As the others pointed out, this will only work if the page inside the iframe is on the same domain.
I have a website which I host myself. I do not have a static IP address so I have all traffic for my domain forwarded with masking to my DDNS account. The resulting page looks like this...
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>mydomianname.com</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0">
<frame src="http://myddns.dyndns.org/mydomainname" frameborder="0" />
<frame frameborder="0" noresize />
</frameset>
</html>
How can I update the URL of the "parent" frame as users navigate within the "child" frame?
UPDATE: Success?
I have tried doing this with javascript but had an issue getting the correct href to my javascript function with out having adverse side effects (having two windows open up, having my main window go to the wrong location, or making it so the back button didn't work right). All I needed was an attribute of my a tag to hold a value that I could use in my javascript, but would do nothing else at all. Adding the attributed value event though it is not a native attribute to the a tag works great.
The a tag...
<a onclick="url_update(this);" value="test/test.html" href="javascript:void(0);">test link</a>
and the javascript function...
function url_update(element){
base_url = 'http://mydomain.com/';
window.parent.location.href = base_url + element.getAttribute('value');
}
the resulting updated URL is...
http://mydomain.com/test/test.html
... and there are none of the previously mentioned side effects.
The only "side effect" that I would like to fix is display of the link in the info bar at the bottom of a browser window. Right now it says javascript:void(0); because that is what is written in my href attribute, but I would like it to show the updated URL when the link is hovered over... any thoughts?
It would be even better if I could scrap all of this javascript and use IIS 7 URL Rewrite 2.0 to do this instead... but I have yet to master the black art of URL rewriting.
javascript:
window.top.location = 'anther url'
--UPDATE to your updated question
use element.getAttribute('value') instead of element.value
--UPDATE #2
Use the href attribute, however, add a return false; to the onclick function:
<a onclick="url_update(this);return false;" value="test/test.html" href="test/test.html">test link</a>
Once you are doing that, you might aswell skip the value attribute and just use the href property, update your url_update function to use element.href instead of element.value
It's hard to tell from your question exactly which frames are doing what, but if The Scrum Meister's solution works for you, than you can easily implement what you want by adding this to each of your A tags.
target="_top"
Your example modified.
test link
You could also do this with jquery...
On the page where all A tags should have target="_top" you can implement the following jquery code on the page and it will dynamically add the target to all links.
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(function()
{
$("A").attr("target","_top");
});
</script>
That is assuming that you have normail A tags with the href attribute, you can get rid of the onclick all together, no other javascript is required with the target solution.
First you need to be on the same domain... otherwise for security reasons you can not change it.
Declare and call this function in your child frame
function change(theUrl){
window.parent.reloadContent(theUrl);
}
In your parent have the following function :
function reloadContent(theUrl){
if (theUrl != ""){
document.getElementById("frameID").src= theUrl ;
}
}
I have a web page with a number of iframes, including 3rd party iframes like ad sense and various sharing buttons.
In Firefox, I've noticed that occasionally the content of these iframes get swapped, such that you'll get an ad sense ad where another iframe is. It seems completely random where iframe content shows up. It seems it may have something to do with caching.
Does anyone know what causes this, or any steps I can take to prevent this from happening?
In case anyone is looking I was able to track down the bug report:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356558
It's been 4 years and it doesn't even look like they have confirmed it.
The workaround described in that Mozilla bug report worked for me:
<iframe src="webpage2.html?var=xxx" id="theframe"></iframe>
<script>
var _theframe = document.getElementById("theframe");
_theframe.contentWindow.location.href = _theframe.src;
</script>
One plausible answer is that two iframes have the same name. I've experienced this several times in conkeror (firefox based), and every time it's been a name conflict.
I've been wrestling with this for awhile now. The problem is with firefox and the way that it caches iframe content. It's not random either. There is nothing to do to prevent this short of not using iframes.
You can reload the iframes onload using something like:
var reloadIframes = function () {
var a = window.frames, b = a.length
while (b--) {
a[b].src = a[b].src;
}
}
In the case of ads it will cause double impressions which will violate you contract.
An easy way to replicate the issue is create 3 html files.
<!--frame1.html-->
<html>
<body>
<h3>frame one</h3>
</body>
</html>
<!--frame2.html-->
<html>
<body>
<h3>frame two</h3>
</body>
</html>
<!--index.html-->
<html>
<body>
<iframe src="frame1.html"></iframe>
<iframe src="frame2.html"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
Open in firefox. Then switch frame one and frame two.
<!--index.html-->
<html>
<body>
<iframe src="frame2.html"></iframe>
<iframe src="frame1.html"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
Refresh index.html. The iframes will not be swapped until you clear your cache.
There is a bug in at mozilla but no one is currently working on it.
This problem maybe similar to yours
try to put
window.onload = yourcode;
together with body unload.
i have the tool tip javascript on head segment which contain
window.onload = initTip;
but conflict with my onload iframe
<body onload = "parent.myframe.location='mypage.html'">
my solution :
delete that window.onload = initTip; from head segment, then put them into body.
<body onload = "initTip(); parent.myframe.location='mypage.html'">
it's work with reload button on firefox
