Executing javascript from an iframe in the browser

[alberto2345]

I'm wanting to know if there is a way to execute javascript functions from MTA to an iframe that is being shown in the browser.

When I try and execute the function, it says it isn't defined.

 

Thanks.

That's not working as I'm trying to execute javascript code from an iframe within the browser itself. I can execute javascript code from the parent, but not from an iframe within the html page.

All good, came up with a solution to the issue.

What I did was create a function in the main javascript file that would access the iframe and execute the function through that. This is achieved using:

appFrame.contentWindow.functionName(passingObj);

(in my case anyway)

However I feel this isn't the best way to achieve this since its using an, in my opinion, unnecessary "piggyback". If there is a better method to do this, please let me and everyone else know. Otherwise I would suggest adding a way to do this through an MTA function that would work better.

Thanks
