Question

I have an iframe on my page, where on click (a menu) will update the iframe with a new URL depending on what menuitem they select.

I do that by calling javascript function on ‘onclick’ passing the URL from the menu :

   function frameclick(pageurl)
     {
            $("#iFrame1").attr('src', pageurl);         
     }

What i would like to do whenever they press a menuitem is to store what iframe is loaded, because i have another button (select page language) and when they press that i want to reload the page but pass on the iframe-url that is currently displayed as a variable in the site url.

Since PHP is serverside and JS is clientside, i cannot do ex. “$current_iframe_url = pageurl” – which would have enabled me to pass it on as a variable on refresh.

You know how i could get around this ?

That works fine.

What i want to do now, is to whenever they click a menuitem i want to store that URL

Answer 1

on every click create a hidden field save the value of url in a hidden field then only change the url. then after that you can simple submit the form using ajax .
or when ever user clicks call an ajax function so that u can copy the url in database or session what ever you like.
sample

function frameclick(pageurl)
 {
   $.post("server.php", { url: pageurl } );
   $("#iFrame1").attr('src', pageurl);         
 }
your php  server.php should do something like this


if(isset($_POST['url']){
//INSERT IN TO DB
}
