Firefox Save As Questions

[korndog21]

Regarding the solution provided by tsuji at

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1476631,

is possible to run the JavaScript from the main browser window (that contains HTML and JavaScript) in order to prompt the user to save the contents of a child iframe window (containing XML)? The JavaScript doesn't really belong within the XML file itself.

Thanks in advance!

If the iframe is loaded from the same doamin (or subdomain thereof), I'd say "give it a try and find out".

If it is not, then I'd say "no, due to security restrictions".

If the former and you want to give it a go, here's a good cross-browser way of getting hold of the document element inside an iframe:

iframeDoc = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document;

Hope this helps,

Dan

Where would I plug in that "iframeDoc" handle into the existing code? Thanks!

Use it in place of 'document'.
