I have a page in my site that contains an iframe, inside the iframe are a number of input boxes. What I want to do is that when someone enters a value into the iframe input box, that value is then written into an input box in the parent page.
I had found some other answers on here but I couldn't manage to get them to fit my need, so far I have something like
HTML - for parent
<form method="post" id="presentation-form" action=”action.php”>
<input type="text" id="edit-title" name="title">
<iframe id="upload_frame" src="upload.html" ></iframe>
<input type="submit" id="edit-submit" name="op" value="Save">
</form>
HTML - for child
<form name="formUpload" id="formUpload" etc..>
<input id=”mytitle” type="text" size="50" name="title" value="">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload File">
</form>
What I want is that when I change the value of 'mytitle' in the child form, it chanegs the 'edit-title' in the parent form
My Jquery so far was
$('#upload_frame').contents().find("#formUpload").delegate('input', 'change', function(e){
//code goes here
});
The problem I was getting is that even when I tried to alert, or log something from within that script, nothing was happening, I wasn't getting any javascript error but nothing got alerted when I did anything
(before anyone asks, this child page is a page within my same domain)
Any help would be greatly appreciated
For future people, this is the solution I ended up using, and it seems to work fine
$('iframe').load(function(){
$('iframe').contents().find('input#mytitle').bind('change',function(e) {
title_name = $(this).val();
$('input#edit-title').val(title_name);
});
});
