neat javascript - problem though 1

altaratz · Apr 16, 2001

Here's one for everyone - a floating url bar, just type in the url, and go - however, could someone please point out how to make it load into the "main frame, and not the one I'm putting it in - thanks!

<Script language="Javascript">
function goto()
{
var Form_field;
var Form_field = document.Go.To.value;
var Goto=(Form_field);
this.location.href = Goto;
}
</script>
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="FFFFF" TEXT="00000">
<!--[if IE]>
<div id="scontentmain">
<div id="scontentbar" >
<img align="right" src="barbutton.gif" onClick="onoffdisplay()">
</div>
<div id="scontentsub">

<div align="right"><form action="javascript:goto()" name="Go">
<b>Input a url here:</b> <input type="text" size="45" name="To" value="

http://">

Yes.

Change "this.location.href".

"this" should be replaced by the name of the frame.

Later. I hope this helped! ;-)

Change "this.location.href"

to

parent.framename.location = "someurl"

as location.href is better used to retrieve a string and causes problems when set at times

if you want to set the current frame, just use

self.location = "someurl" jared@eae.net -

I tried both of those, and neither worked. I'll post one last time, the whole code, as is, in hopes someone can find the error - the javascript is located in the "up" frame, and the target frame is "main" located as a sub-frame of "middle" frame. Thanks in advance again!

<Script language="Javascript">
function goto()
{
var Form_field;
var Form_field = document.Go.To.value;
var Goto=(Form_field);
parent.main.location = "Goto";
}
</script>

<TITLE></TITLE>
<META name="description" content="">
<META name="keywords" content="">
<META name="generator" content="CuteHTML">
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#800080">

Hi altaratz,

Try
parent.main.location.href = "Goto"

hope this helps,

var Form_field = document.Go.To.value;
var Goto=(Form_field);
parent.main.location = "Goto";

should read:

var Form_field = document.Go.To.value;
parent.main.location = Form_field; jared@eae.net -

jaredn's code is fine or take out the "", use

parent.main.location.href = Goto;

hope this helps,

Thank you to both of you guys for th suggestions - I guess this is one script that's just not meant to target frames (this.location.href works fine within a frame though

Anyways, take it easy.
