Setting focus to iframe

[halfbarrel]

Hello,
I'm currently creating a web page with a table of data at the top, and iframe below that, and then a second iframe below that. When a hyper link from the table is clicked it changes the source of the first iframe, then when a hyper link is clicked from that iframe it sets the source for the second iframe.

My problem is after the source for the first iframe is filled you need to scroll to get to second iframe. So when a link from the first iframe is clicked to fill the source for the second iframe you really can't tell anything happened unless you scroll down.

My question is when setting the source for the second iframe is there a way to go to that iframe like setting the focus or something.

have a look at scrollIntoView.

You might want to consider using an HTML anchor instead if this needs to be cross-browser. I seem to remember scrollIntoView being IE-only.

Thanks for the help guys. One more question. If the source for the second iframe is set and a value is clicked in the table at the top I would like to set the source for the second iframe to nothing and shrink it back down to make it invisible. I can set the source to nothing but when I try to make the height and width 0 I can still see a white area on the page. Let me know if you can offer any help.

Set its display style to none:

obj.style.display = 'none';

Or, remove it from the page altogether:

obj.parentNode.removeChild(obj);
