Raptor Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: A², MI, USA Insane since: Nov 2001	posted 01-09-2002 04:46 ok.. i have an html document (page1) with an image in it. in this html document is an iframe, with another html document (page2) inside. is it possible for me to rollover an image in page1 to correspond with a rollover in page2? btw i'm not too good w/ javascript/dhtml, if that's what it takes. so if it's js/dhtml heavy, explain it a bit for me please i've taken c++ so i do understand some of js/dhtml too.

The easiest way is to name the iframe <iframe name=textbody src=.... Then call the image inside it like this: top.textbody.document.imageName.src = "new gif" Where the top.textbody refers to the frame and the rest is whatever code you are using for your mouseovers.

Slime Lunatic (VI) Mad Scientist From: Massachusetts, USA Insane since: Mar 2000	posted 01-09-2002 06:25 only use top.framename.document... if your page is at the top level. If the IFRAME you're referencing is a part of the page that the script is being run in, simply use framename.document... .

The real difficulty in this type of situations is getting the right refrence to the frame. If you are just talking about one page with an iframe then Slime's method is the way to go. :[ Computers let you make more mistakes faster than any other invention in human history, with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila. ]:

Yes.

you just need to do a bit of refrencing.
The easiest way is to name the iframe

<iframe name=textbody src=....

Then call the image inside it like this:
top.textbody.document.imageName.src = "new gif"

Where the top.textbody refers to the frame and the rest is whatever code you are using for your mouseovers.

*only* use top.framename.document... if your page is at the top level. If the IFRAME you're referencing is a part of the page that the script is being run in, simply use framename.document... .
