Problem with onUnload 1

Stewart531 · Jun 18, 2003

I'm having a problem calling an onUnload function from the <body> portion of my framestring. It causes the code in the <frameset> to not work. I know the <frameset> part is fine, because it works when I remove the <body> code. Here is my code:

NFW = window.open("","mytarget1",windowprops)

var frameString=""+
"<html>"+
"<head>"+
"<title>"+title+"</title>"+
"<body onunload=alert(\"Test!\&quot

;>" +
"</body>" +
"</head>"+
"<frameset rows='*,0' framespacing=0 border=0 frameborder=0>"+
"<frame name='top' src='"+URLpop+"' scrolling=auto>"+
"<frame name='bottom' src='SEL' scrolling='no'>"+
"</frameset>"+
"</html>"

NFW.document.open();
NFW.document.write(frameString)
NFW.document.close()

Can I not use both <body> and <frameset> at once?

Thanks,
Stewart

all attribute values should be surrounded in quotes.

what you want to end up with is this:
<body onunload="alert('Test!');">

so your js should look like this:
"<body onunload=\"alert('Test!');\">" +

Ok, that works and I get the alert. However, when I put that in, the <framestring> part doesn't work, and the document whose path is contained in "URLpop" is not opened in the window. The only time the document is opened in the window is when I remove the <body> part. Also, I don't receive any errors when I use both the <body> and <framestring>. Any idea why that happens?

Thanks,

Well, I resolved one of my issues. If I remove the <body> part and use:

"<frameset onunload=\"alert('Test');\">"

it now works.

Now I have a new problem. Instead of doing an alert() function, I want to use a user defined function. For example, this will not work:

"<frameset onunload=\"CallAlert();\">" +
"<script type=\"text/JavaScript\">" +
"function CallAlert(){" +
"alert('Test') " +
"}" +
"</script>" +

While this worked when it was <body onunload....>, it no longer works. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Stewart

i don't think you can have a <script> block inside a frameset - try putting the <script> block before the <frameset>, and escape the slash in </script>

"<script type=\"text/JavaScript\">" +
"function CallAlert(){" +
"alert('Test') " +
"}" +
"<\/script>" +
"<frameset onunload=\"CallAlert();\">" +
...
