Need Help With Copying Iframe

**doublezz** · 02-03-2009, 06:13 PM

Hi all,

I need to copy my iframe from a cell to another cell in the html table, I have the following code:

<html>
<head>
<script>
function startWorking() {
var targetFrame=document.getElementById("myDiv");
var targetTD=document.getElementById("td1");
targetTD.appendChild(targetFrame);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<input type="button" value="Start" onclick="startWorking()"/>
</div>
<table border=1>
<tr>
<td id="td1">
ABCDEFG
</td>
<td id="td2">
<div id="myDiv">
<iframe src="http://www.google.com.au" border="1" height="200" width="200">
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

It works perfectly in IE, however, in firefox when I press the button the copied iframe be refreshed, I don't like that. Does anyone able to give me a light?

Thanks!

Sorry, you'll have to chalk that one up to browser differences. Technically, though, you should not take an existing document element and append it in another place in the document without removing it from the original place. If you change that, though, I don't expect it to help the other issue.

Thanks for the reply MrNobody,

I have also tried with removing the child node before copying but still does not help.

What I need is to just move the iframe from td2 to td1 without refreshing the iframe content
