accessing forms which have no names set

**desdev** · 09-05-2007 09:00 PM

Hi everyone,

I have come up against a brick wall at the moment. When you have a form with submit buttons and text fields i know using javascript you can access these elements, but you require the name of the form to be set.

Is there any way to do this when the form has no name set!!!

mmm, had a look but cant seem to get that method to work with that i am doing..

Basically i have a form in a file called "iframe.html" in this form i have text fields and also a submit box.

in the main.html i am displaying "iframe.html" as a inline frame, and trying to grabe value and also for a submit request.

PHP Code:


document.iframe1.form1.submit()

This would automatically submit the form for me, on the inline frame, but without the form having a name i cant do it.

here is the 2 files i am running..

iframe.php

PHP Code:


<form action="" method="get">

<input name="name" type="text" value="neil">

<input name="" type="submit">

</form>

<? echo $name; ?>

main.php

PHP Code:


<body onLoad="document.iframe1.submit()">

<P ALIGN=center><IFRAME name="iframe1" SRC="iframe.php" WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=100></IFRAME></P>

What i am trying to do is get the main.php to activate the submit button on the inline frame (iframe.php) if i give the form a name it works, but with out the name set it wont.

just when i think i am closer...

i am able to do it now with the following

PHP Code:


<body onLoad="window.iframe1.document.forms[0].submit();">

however i am now getting a javascript error "access denied" i am trying to open another websites page, which has a vote button and trying to auto click it.

is there anyway to get around a Access Denied error?
