form inside iframe ,submit button outside the iframe

[barrymore]

Hi all,

I have a form with few fields inside an iframe.
yet, i wish to put my submit button outside the iframe (parent window)

let say, i have a form in mydetail.asp
In parent.asp file,
i write <iframe name="myframe" id="frame1" src="mydetail.asp"></iframe>
in parent.asp file. And, i put the submit button in parent.asp file.

Now, i would like to press the button and submit the form data of the iframe and display my result in mydetail.asp(in iframe).

How to do that?
Any ideas or tutorials that can be refered? Thanks alot!! -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

I believe you use javascript to emulate a form click in an iframe, but I'm not sure if you retrieve the data back into your parent. Actually, I bet if you did an onload event of the posted-to page in the iframe - that set the parent window it would be possible. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.

I would suggest you not to use the iframe, also if you don't need scrolling for your iframe, you could just include your mydetail.asp file into parent.asp -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
