I have data in a iframe. When a user performs an action – I want this want this data to be collated and sent “inside” another iframe inside this iframe.
I have having a bit trouble achieving this and was wondering whether its possible and if it is, how I can do it ?
Thx
A quick solution would be to pass instructions (actions, variables, etc) as query variables in a url. You can use your outside script to change the iFrame reference and a script inside the iFrame can read back those variables and do something with them.
Basically starting with http://someurl.com/page.html in your iFrame and dynamically changing it to http://someurl.com/page.html?action=do-something&with=this. Since we’re talking Javascript, you can force the iFrame to refresh asynchronously, giving the illusion that it’s loading new, interactive data.
