I have reproduced this problem with chrome (with firefox and with IE works fine). I have two files, one is test_index.html and other is test.html.
the code of test_index is the following:
<html>
<head>
<meta name=description content="">
<meta name=keywords content="">
<Title></Title>
</head>
<frameset cols="190,*" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0">
<frame name="menu_frame" target="principale" src="test.html" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto">
<frame name="principale" src="" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" target="principale">
</frameset>
</html>
the code of test.html is the following:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function writedoc() {
newWindow = window.open( '','principale','width=100%');
newWindow.document.open();
newWindow.document.writeln('<html><head><title>Pictures Slide Show</title></head><body><p>Hello World</p></body></html>');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" onclick="writedoc()" />
</body>
</html>
So when I click the button nothing happens in chrome, what am i doing wrong?
In Chrome (i)frames are treated as cross-domain windows when running local pages (i.e. with file protocol). (Why?). Passing --allow-file-access-from-files switch at start-up should tackle the problem (credits @Justin).
Some observations of your code
framesets and frames are obsoleted in HTML5, if you really need external windows, use iframes instead.(i)frame's window object is window.frames['frame_name'], you don't need complex window.open()document.open() is not needed, document.write(ln)() opens the document automaticallydocument.write(ln)() you have to close the document with document.close() to stop browser loadingIf you love us?
