I have an iframe in a page which contains another page from within my
application. The iframe contents include a button that, when clicked,
will trigger a custom event on the parent document. While I can
listen to the click event on the button from the IFRAME parent, i
cannot listen to the custom event. Strange.
Parent:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/
jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("iframe").load(function(e) {
$(this).contents().find("#portlet").bind("updated",
function(e)
{ alert("click"); });
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript"></script>
<iframe src="frame.jsp" id="myframe"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
IFRAME:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://
www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/
jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("button#framer").click(function(e) {
var e = new jQuery.Event("updated");
$("#portlet").trigger(e);
});
});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
#portlet {
display: none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="portlet"></div>
<button id="framer">Click Me</button>
</body>
</html>
Optimally, I think it makes sense to trigger the "updated" event on
the document, rather than the hidden div - but neither seems to work.
Should I expect this behavior to work as I intend it to, or am I
hitting some limitation?
