IFRAME Problems again

[Zor]

Ok, i try to explain to problem.

I have an IFRAME named "iEdit" and I have a div-field named="palette" which is hidden first. It is generated by PHP and shows a palette. After clicking on the TextColorButton I make the div-field visible.

IFRAME:
<iframe name="iEdit" style="width:500px; height:300px"></iframe>

div-Field:
<div z-Index=5 id="palette" style="position:absolute; visibility:hidden; width:0px; height:0px; top: 20px; left: 160px;">
<table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5" bgcolor="#D6D3CE">
<tr>
<?php
$hex = array(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,"A","B","C","D","E","F");
$i=0;
$j=0;
$k=0;
foreach ($hex as $val1)
foreach ($hex as $val2)
foreach ($hex as $val3)
if (eregi("[00|44|88|BB|FF]", $val1))
if (eregi("[00|44|88|BB|FF]", $val2))
if (eregi("[00|44|88|BB|FF]", $val3)) {
if ($i%8==0)
echo "</tr><tr>";
$color = "$val1$val1$val2$val2$val3$val3";
echo "<td bgcolor=\"$color\" style=\"width:10; height:10\" onclick=\"doTextColor('$color')\"></td>";
$i++;
}
?>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

Function to make it visible:
function ShowColorPalette() {
document.all.palette.style.visibility = 'visible';
}


I see my palette. When I click on a Color-Button the following function will be called:

function doTextColor(farbe) {
iEdit.document.execCommand('ForeColor', false, 'farbe');
}

Could it be that my IFRAME-Field has no selection after popping up the palette-div-field? How can I fix it? Please help me it confuses me. There has to be a solution...

Oh and by the way, the value farbe does exist in doTextColor. I already tested it with an alert-box. So how da ....... can i change the Text- or Backgroundcolor with the help of this cool palette-window. I dont want to make a prompt-field, because the editor has to be as easy as it can be...

that's because you have the onClick event on the td of the div, so the iEdit has no focus or selection. you should use an winopen or a showModelessDialog for that instead a div (I have created an Wysiwyg editor and used only at the beginning divs, exactly having this problems).

Could you give me an example for a showModelessDialog? And how can I show the Dialog that the actions have to take part in the main windows?

Hi Zor this code for an example of a ModalDialog:

<script language=javascript>
function modalD(){
strPage = "insertcolor.html"; //which site is in the modal
strAttr= "status:no;dialogWidth:420px;dialogHeight:230px;";
html = showModalDialog(strPage, mywin, strAttr);
}
</script>
<a href="#" onClick="modalD()">show ModalDialog</a>

Your code does not work!!! My Browser does not know ShowModalDialog - is it a function from Microsoft C???

Oh :rolleyes: , yes, sorry did not know that you want it crossbrowser f., instead of the modal use the window.open, that works too.
