Question

I’m trying to use an iframe to process a log in, and change the parent page depending on the output. I’ve traced the javascript to here:

function results(status)
{
   req = new XMLHttpRequest();
   req.open('GET', '../design/loginbox.php', false);
   req.send(null);

   alert(req.responseText);

   top.document.getElementByID['loginbar'].innerHTML = req.responseText;
}

I know this isn’t cross compatible or anything, but at the moment I’m just testing. The alert shows the correct output, however, the parent page never changes. Can anyone see where I am going wrong?

Thanks, Piepieonline

Answer 1

top.document.getElementById('loginbar').innerHTML = req.responseText;

here getElementById is a method… you have to call it, not use it like an array.
