Back in Iframes? 1

[rageuser]

Hi there, I've constructed a site which has a main html popup and in this popup I load all the different sections of the site as iframes.

- I was wondering if there is some way I can use a back command with Iframes. I've tried the javascript.history (-1) deal and that does not work. I need to jump back to the previous iframe, is this possible?

If you need to move back one frame in a particular frame you could use:

parent.framename.history.go(-1). That should do the trick. The only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked

That doesn't seem to work either. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Here is the code I am using

<a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;parent.framename.history.go(-1)&quot;>back</a>

These are Iframes so maybe that command only works on regular frames, I'm not really sure though I don't know much about frames. Thanks for your response!

unfortunately there is no way to be tacktful in these forums but I need to be clear. In this code you said you used,
<a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;parent.framename.history.go(-1)&quot;>back</a>

you did use the actual name of the iframe like,

<a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;parent.contentframe.history.go(-1)&quot;>back</a>

Sorry, but I just need to be clear.

Do you mean the name of the Iframe the code is in? Say I have

<div id=home    blah blah>

do I put

<a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;parent.home.history.go(-1)&quot;>

Or do I use the iframe src html file as the name

<a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;parent.home.html.history.go(-1)&quot;>

Or do I have to assign a name to the iframe? Thanks for your help I do apologize for being a bit of a novice.

You use the name of the iframe you assigned.

<a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;parent.home.history.go(-1)&quot;>

The above link will send your iframe named home back one frame in its history no matter what other frame you place the link, even if you place the link in the frame named home.


Happy coding
