I am trying to load a frame-set in a dialog: $(#dialog).load (myFrame.html).dialog ({title:Edit Info}).dialog(‘open’);

I am trying to load a frame-set in a dialog:

$("#dialog").load ("myFrame.html).dialog ({title:"Edit Info"}).dialog('open');

the dialog opens but empty, the frame is not loading. No error in firebug either.
If I try to open a simple page then it’s loading OK (minus the css though).

Is there an inherit limitation of opening a frameset in a dialog?

I’m using jQuery 1.4.4 and jQueryUI 1.8.6

Thanks

Mike

    Is there an inherit limitation of opening a frameset in a dialog?

    Yes, there is, as explained in the jQuery docs:

    jQuery uses the browser’s .innerHTML property to parse the retrieved document and insert it into the current document. During this process, browsers often filter elements from the document such as <html>, <title>, or <head> elements. As a result, the elements retrieved by .load() may not be exactly the same as if the document were retrieved directly by the browser.

    Browsers will discard many of the structural elements of a page and this includes framesets. The only way to display framesets inside another page is using an iframe.
