Code Top frame add prefix to link in bottom frame?

jaslr · Jan 24, 2005

I don't know if this is possible and what I want to do is actually quite blurry in my head I do apologise for this. I just know that if it's possible it's to be done with javascript.

I'll try and articulate.

I have some links <a href="

http://www.mysite.com">My

site</a> which I have put on my own homepage. However whilst at work that site is blocked, however that site has a www2 mirror which isn't blocked. So easily enough I can just change it to <a href="

http://www2.mysite.com">My

Site</a> however since the site is a news site the links ON that page change so often that I have to copy the link location to my address bar and change the

http://www to

www2 everytime I want to access a link.

My question: By adding a top frame from the homepage, what do I code into the top frame that can change the link on the bottom frame (bottom frame is a news site I can't change the code to it) so it can change it from

http://www....

to

http://www2...

Any help? I hope this is possible btw.

let's clarify something: this site that is blocked is on a different domain than the "fix" page you intend to view it through at work?

e.g.
[tt]
+-----------------------------+
|

http://localhost/fixit.html

|
|-----------------------------|
| |
| |
|

http://www.somesite.com/

|
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
+-----------------------------+
[/tt]

if this is the case, you're probably sol, 'cause javascript does not allow cross-domain scripting for security reasons

I am not exactly clear what you want but maybe you need to use <base href="

http://www.">

in the <head> of one site and then <base href="

http://www2.">

in the other. In this way you will be able to use relative links which will then be prefixed by the base href when they are clicked.
