I have a HTML element
<frame src="#" title="Content Frame" name="content" id="content" />
I want to set it's "src" dynamically using Javascript on page load. How can I do that ?
I am trying something like;
document.getElementById('content2').contentWindow.location = 'xyz_frame.html';
But for some reason it is not working..Again it is a element and not
A Rough code;
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function LoadPage(){
document.getElementById('content2').src = 'ipad_lrd_frame.html';
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="LoadPage()">
<frame id="content2"></frame>
</body>
</html>
This should work;
document.getElementById('content2').src = "url";
(Also you have mismatched IDs for the frame and getElementById
call)
For a FRAME
, you need a FRAMESET
which precludes the use of a BODY
, so;
<frameset rows="50%,*" onload="LoadPage();">
<frame id="content2"></frame>
.....
Update:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function LoadPage(){
document.getElementById('content1').src = "http://www.google.com";
document.getElementById('content2').src = "http://www.bing.com";
}
</script>
<title></title>
</head>
<frameset rows="50%,*" onload="LoadPage();">
<frame src="#" id="content1">
<frame src="#" id="content2">
</frameset>
</html>
I would think fetching frames by name would be more suitable:
document.getElementsByName('content2')[0].src = 'ipad_lrd_frame.html';
Tested it successfully. Ensure your page uses a frameset doctype
and you do not include body
tags (use frameset
tags instead). Also note your script type should be text/javascript
, rather than language "javascript".
