javascript & frames

[LagWagon]

hi,

I have a page whith frames where y load other pages in. If these other pages
are in my computer y can read/write with javascritp in their properties like
name, location, href etc. but when y have loaded in a frame a page that is
not in my computer y can`t use these properties.

I know that the page is not accessible using javascript from my page, but
the frame is a frame of my page. I don`t understand it. why? Can´t I load
another page in this frame if it has a page that isn`t in my computer?

can I know whith javascript when a page loaded in a frame is in my computer
or not?

thanks.

(sorry, my english isn`t good)

I know that the page is not accessible using javascript from my page, but
the frame is a frame of my page.

A frame is merely a window embedded in another window. You cannot access
pages from other domains in your frame for security reasons. If you
could, you could hijack their pages and do whatever you wanted with
them, including re-direct orders, credit card information, and other
private data into your pages, database, or whatever. You could also put
malicious scripts on their pages. So, no, you can't access a page from a
different domain in your frames with javascript.

I don`t understand it. why? Can´t I load
another page in this frame if it has a page that isn`t in my computer?

As explained above, no.

can I know whith javascript when a page loaded in a frame is in my computer
or not?

I don't think so. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

thanks kaeli.

I'll try another way to do this.

open in the frame a page that has 2 frames too. the size of them will be
100% and 0%. in width and height. the frame "100%" will load the extern
page. in this way, in my principal page of frames I can open this page with
2 frames and others in a frame. now I can access to properties of this frame
because the page it opens not is extern yet.

I only need open the extern page. not to manipulate it.

bye.
