I have a parent window that is contains an iframe (containing a calendar) that I want to work with. Both are in the same domain (and folder) and both include jQuery.
When I click on a day (i.e. a table cell), I want to get the id (which contains the date) to set the value of a text box in the parent form. I can get it to work with Firefox, but not Internet Explorer. Also, when the iframe page changes (i.e. I click a link within it), the load event isn't fired again in IE (but is in Firefox). This is what I have in the parent document: $( function() { var shifts = $(frames["shifts"]||"#shifts"); shifts.load( function() { alert("iframe loaded"); // fires each time the iframe loads in Firefox, but not IE var d = this.contentDocument; if(!d) d = this.document; // IE else d = d.defaultView; // firefox var days = d.$("td.shift"); days.each( function() { var self = $(this); var text = self.text(); self.empty().append("<a href='#'>").find("a").append(text).click( function() { alert("selected " + this.parentNode.id); return false; } ); } ) } ); } ) Perhaps in a future version of jQuery, it will do this transparently, i.e. var myiframe = $("#myiframe"); myiframe.load( function() { var d = this.document; d.$("a").click(function(){return false}); } ) _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
