dynamic src of IFRAME

[seans]

Hi,

Please, can somebody help me with this? I have two iframes. The
contents of the first iframe are changed dynamically at run time. I
want to take the contents of the first iframe and display them in the
second iframe. Is it possible to do this? I tried using the following
code:

function getLframe() {

return parent.frames['frame1']
}

function getLframedoc() { return (getLframe()).document
}

str = (getLframedoc()).documentElement.outerHTML
document.all.iframe2.src = str

but all I get is the message "Bad Request (Invalid URL)" displayed in
the second frame. Is it possible to do this or must the string be a
file/url?

thanks again.

Yes. If the first IFrame is changed dynamically at run time, have
whatever mechanism is dynamically changing it to dynamically change the
second one.

I tried using the following code:

function getLframe() {

return parent.frames['frame1']
}

function getLframedoc() { return (getLframe()).document
}

str = (getLframedoc()).documentElement.outerHTML
document.all.iframe2.src = str
but all I get is the message "Bad Request (Invalid URL)" displayed in
the second frame. Is it possible to do this or must the string be a
file/url?

Looks like a whole lot of trouble to produce IE only code.

See above.

Thanks to both of you for your help.
