Reading parent variable into iframe

[mrojek]

I am currently working on a program that will require an iframe to read data from the display screen when the screen is loaded. So far I have had no luck reading in anything to the iframe. Here is a section of my javascript code for the iframe:

<p id="Var1"></p>
<p id="Var2"></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("Var1").innerHTML = txtVar1;
document.getElementById("Var2").innerHTML = parent.document.getElementById(window.txtVar1);
</script>

These attempts that I have made in the javascript have not worked for me.
Is this even possible with using the profound iframe widget or am I not coding this correctly?
Any information you could give me would be great

Thanks

Assuming your goal is to retrieve the contents of the textbox named 'txtVar1' in the parent frame, you could do that like this:

Code: Select all

var myVar = parent.pui.get("txtVar1");

The code that you provided as an example is using a Javascript variable named txtVar1 instead of looking for a DOM element with that name.
