changing IFRAME src 4

[peacecodotnet]

I tried changing the source of an IFRAME through javascript, but it didn't do anything. I regret that I am not at my home computer, so I don't have any code right now, but it went something like this:

in the JavaScript, I had:
TheFrame.src = "

http://www.othersite.com";

and the frame looks like:
<iframe id="TheFrame" src="

http://www.site.com"

width="100%" height="500"></iframe>

What am I doing wrong? Is there maybe a way to refresh the IFRAME only, without refreshing the rest of the page?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Peace out,
Peace Co.

try

document.getElementById("TheFrame").src = '[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.othersite.com';[/URL]

Or modify your iframe to have a NAME attribute as well as the ID attribute. This way it can be used for targetting operations, too.

Hope this helps,

Forget the SRC and instruct the HTML to change the LOCATION of the IFRAME content.

e.g., TheFrame.location = "

http://www.abc.com";

Changing the SRC of the IFRAME tag does not force a reload of the contents of the IFRAME.

'hope that's what you needed.

I believe the security settings wont allow you to modify the frame src/location href across domains.
