Reference an external Iframe

[Andante]

Hello everyone,

We have an HTML page which contains an Iframe where a specified HTML file will load. We would like to load a specific *.HTML into the Iframe based on a condition. This condition comes from a button pushed in our Flash movie and the variable is passed into Javascript.

In Javascript, here is the condition to load the main page (solutions.html):

if(linkobj=="somemovie1.flv") {
location.href="html/solutions/solutions.html";
} else if (linkobj=="vid2.flv") {
...
} else if (linkobj=="vid3.flv") {
...
} else if (linkobj=="vid4.flv") {
...

On the solutions.html page, our Iframe is defined as:
<iframe src="page1.html" frameborder="0" name="content" width="850" height="410" scrolling="yes"></iframe>

I would like to have either page1.html, page2.html, page3.html load up based on a javascript condition.

I have so far tried:
window.main.frames['content'].location.replace('html/solutions/page1.html');

---
frames.location.href="html/solutions/page1.html";
--
window.frames.content.location="html/solutions/page1.html";
--
document.write("<iframe src='html/solutions/page1.html' frameborder='0' name='content' width='850' height='410' scrolling='yes'>");
//document.write("</iframe>");
--

Appreciate the help, and thank you in advance for your time.

Give the following a try


In solutions.html

function loadIframe(){
if (location.search.length > 0){
loc=unescape(location.search.substring(1))
window.frames["content"].location=loc
}
}

// add onload="loadIframe()" to the opening BODY tag



Your condition would then be

if(linkobj=="somemovie1.flv") {
location.href="html/solutions/solutions.html?page1.html";
} else if (linkobj=="vid2.flv") {
location.href="html/solutions/solutions.html?page2.html";
