Hello,

I have a form inside an iFrame which I want to submit with javascript
as the iframe loads.
For example:

<iframe src="" name="myiframe" id="myiframe>
<form method="post" id="myform" name="myform" action="http://
www.yahoo.com" target="_self">
</form>
</iframe>

No matter how I try to submit the form I cannot get it.
I'm getting null on:
- document.getElementsByName("myform") ,
- document.myiframe.myform
all other combinatinos I try gives the same, i cannot access the form.

Can you please assist me getting this working ?


Thanks!
Tal.

It looks like your problem is getting a reference to the iframe, not
the submitting.

It turns out that getting that reference can be quite tricky.

There's a good article about it here:

You can't put content into an iframe inline, they don't work like that. They are little individual browser windows. They have an src attribute which you set to draw their content from a URL.
