Title: Message

Well, you can’t do what you just wrote because until you put something in the iframe, there is no iFrame.contentWindow.document.body.  He asked about creating a hidden iframe and writing to it, the solution I posted is the only cross-browser solution that I’ve seen.  And you’d only lose what was previously in the Iframe window, ie nothing, by overwriting it; the parent document will not be affected.

 

The .src = "" was a remnant from the code I was using to avoid ‘non-secure items on a secure page’ in IE, it can safely be removed.

Important to remember that using document.open/close/write from _javascript_ during non-loading period will cause the current document context to reset, meaning you lose what was previously there.

 

-       var iFrame = document.createElement(‘IFRAME’);

-       iFrame.src = "" //pretty sure you don’t need this

-       iFrame.contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML = “blarrrrrrr”;

-       iFrame.contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML += “more BLARRRRRRRRR”;

This should work:

 

        var iFrame   = document.createElement('IFRAME');

        iFrame.src = '';

        iFrame.contentWindow.document.open();

        iFrame.contentWindow.document.write(sDocument);

        iFrame.contentWindow.document.close();

If I dynamically create a hidden iframe, how could I add a document in a string to that element?

 

e.g.,

 

var sDocument = '<html><head></head><body>Hello world.</body></html>';

 

I've tried several variations of appendChild, innerHTML, document.innerHTML, createTextNode.

 

Argh!
