Modifying iframes with Javascript

iago · October 17, 2004, 09:41 AM

I tried to do something like this:

 <iframe src="http://www.google.ca" name="test"></iframe>

<input type="button" value="click me" onclick="
test.src='http://www.valhallalegends.com'">

When I click the button, the javascript console says:
Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to set property Window.src

Is there any way to set the src attribute of an iframe?

try

Code Select

onclick="parent.test.location.href='http://www.valhallalegends.com/';"

Aha, this worked beautifully:

Code Select

<html>

<input type="button" value="test" onclick="parent.test.location.href='http://www.valhallalegends.com/';"><br><br>
                          
This is my test iframe:<br>      
<iframe src="http://www.google.ca" name=test></iframe><br>

</html>

Thanks, zorm!
