Returining True/False from iframe function

[sumnerdu]

Hello,

The following function returns true/false and I would like to obtain the value from that function. The function resides in an iframe and it submits and validates a form within that iframe. Im executing the function from the parent like so..

return window.frames[frameid].submitHandler(); (works fine)

Apparently I cannot do this..

var newvar = return window.frames[frameid].submitHandler();

Anyone know how I can retrieve the true/false value?

Thanks for your help!

var newvar = window.frames[frameid].submitHandler();

Hmm..

That returns an "undefined" value rather than true/false.

When are you calling the function?

If it's on load, you must check that the iframe has loaded.

I don't know what scope newvar needs to have, but you might try something like:

 (function sendForm()
 {
  try
  { 
   newvar = return window.frames[frameid].submitHandler();
  }
  catch(e){ setTimeout( sendForm, 1000 ); }
 })();
