Question

I have an iFrame which has a dijit.Dialog. Since this iframe is small in width and height, I was wondering if I could place this dialog in the parent window somehow.
I tried to do:

 var parent_pane = parent.dijit.byId("testpane"); //testpane is in the parent window
 dijit.byId("linkedResourcePopup").placeAt(parent_pane);
 dijit.byId("linkedResourcePopup").show();

This gives me a javascript error in firebug:

_16c.appendChild is not a function

Is this possible.?
Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

You are getting this error because parent.dijit.byId("testpane").appendChild is not a function.

You need to pass a DOM node to placeAt. You can access the parent widgets node via parent_pane.domNode.
