Internal Frame - Not Using Predefined Page 1

Graeme06 · Jul 6, 2006

Hi, another question:
I have the following code:
var url = "

http://www.google.ca";

document.getElementById("external").src=url;

"external" is just an iframe. So all this does is load google in an internal frame.

Now the thing is what I want to load inside this frame isn't an actual pre designed website (I just put google in there as an example). It's going to be different depending on the situation. Basically, is there a way instead of saying url =

http://________

to have something like url=
"<html><head><title>hello</title><body>thisisapage</body> "

It will be a very small page (just a two row table), but I'm not sure if that makes any difference

Thanks,
Graeme

You could try opening the src as "about:blank" and then using document.write to create your content.

Hope this helps,

I think you have a good idea, but how would I write to the internal frame because document.write() just writes to the main page and not the inner frame. I also tried document.getElementById("external").write("heyyyy");
but that doesn't seem to do anything (write may not even be a method of getElementByID)

Okay well I found some IE only code that does what I need

document.frames[0].document.open();
document.frames[0].document.write('Hello world');
document.frames[0].document.close();

Anyone have any idea how to rewrite this for any browser?
