Popup link to load into iframe

ShamanHack · 08-12-2005, 07:28 PM

Hi all,

I have purchased the calendar and like it (good job!). I have the calendar working but I would like to have the popup (overlib) windows link to a page that is in a iframe. I have searched the FAQ but have found no solution to this.

In a normal html page I would do this:
<a href="#" onClick="javascript:document.getElementById('myfra me').src = 'mydetails.html';">Details</a>

This would load the mydetails.html page into the frame called 'myframe'. But when I try this in the popup it does not work. I tried many variations of escaping characters but no joy.

Thanks for your help.

I'm not too sure how to do this... I'll look into it, but, maybe someone else has an idea?

The overLIB forums may be helpful...

Brian,

Thanks for the reply. I believe this is not an overlib issue for this reason:

When I add an event to the calendar I can put a Short Description entry like this:

<a href="http://www.google.com">Test not iframe</a>

This will put a link directly on the calendar that when clicked goes to Google.

However, when I put a Short Description entry like this:

<a href="#" onClick="javascript:document.getElementById('conte ntframe').src = 'http://www.google.com';">Test iframe</a>

It does not work. In this example, I'm not trying to click on the popup but on the calendar itself.

Your thoughts?

Try this one. I am 99% sure it will work.
Just replace the bold code with you own.

<head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="pagename.htm" target="targetframe"onClick="popup(this.href,'popupLink','width=200,h eight=200,toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menu bar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes',1);return document.MM_returnValue">pagetitle</a>
</body>

Make sure you have allow HTML enabled in the Setup Manager too...
