Accessing embedded page

[seaport]

I am using XHTML strict so the code for embedded page is like that:

  <object id="ta1" data="ta.aspx?b=1&s=1" type="text/html">
  </object>

I am trying to make the embedded page postback from the parent page. The js code works in firefox but not in IE (IE7, more specifically).

Here is the code in the parent page.

function test()
{
	var frm;
	if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer')
	{
  	frm=document.getElementById("ta1").document.forms['form1'];
  	frm.__EVENTTARGET.value = 'NeedTA_Desc';
    frm.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = '';
    frm.submit();
  }
  else
  {
    frm=document.getElementById("ta1").contentDocument.getElementById("form1");
   	frm.__EVENTTARGET.value ='NeedTA_Desc';
    frm.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = '';
    frm.submit(); 	
  }
}

I found out that the code
frm=document.getElementById("ta1").document.forms['form1']
gave me a null object.

So how do I get the form object in IE?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know the answer to your question, but would using an iframe make it easier to access?

Dan,

I agree with you. I have the code to access iframe as below. However, xhtml strict does not allow iframe. Using iframe will be my last solution. I might use js to insert iframe to the page so my page will still be xhtml strict.

document.frames("ta1").document.getElementById("form1")

hi,

I just figured it out.

The code should be:

document.getElementById("ta1").getElementById('form1');
