PHP and Javascript

Napster

Currently I am making an admin panel for my website and on the main page it contains a bunch of buttons on one said which come from a while loop which gets information from the database (like Value and URL). Right beside it is an iframe which shows the current admin tool and I use javascript so that when you click on a button it changes the page in the iframe. So the code looks like:

Javascript Function:

echo "

 <script>

  function goto(url) {

var browser = navigator.appName;

if(browser == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer') {

  test.location.href = url

} else {

  document.test.src = url

}

 </script>

";

The Loop for the buttons:

while ($loop = mysql_fetch_object($loop2)) {

  echo "<input type=\"button\" value=\"" . $loop->name . "\" onClick=\"goto('" . $loop->url . "')\">";

}

The iFrame:


  echo "<iframe name=\"test\" src=\"/admin_index.php\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 500px\"></iframe>";

Now my problem is with the Javascript function, this works in IE but not in any other browser?? How can I get it to work? Thanks in advance.

What you're looking for is document.getElementById(). Change this line:

document.test.src = url

to this:

document.getElementById ('test').src = url;

then add id="test" to the <iframe> tag and it should work.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

I just tried it in my mozilla broser and it still does not change. But it does work in IE.

Hmmm... That line is pretty straight-forward, and lifted straight out of working code. The problem may lie elsewhere -- have you checked for any errors in the Mozilla/Firefox JavaScript Console?

Well I made sure that the Javascript is allowed in my Mozilla browser and I also made sure that Javascript does work on the browser and it also does.

This isn't really a PHP question, is it? Maybe you'd get better-targetted help in a Javascript forum from this point on. But have you taken luxluxlux's suggestion and looked at Mozilla's Javascript console?

This works on both browsers:

===============
<script>
function goto_url(newurl)
{
document.getElementById('test').src = newurl;
}
</script>
<body onclick="goto_url('http://www.phpbuilder.com');">
<?php
echo "<iframe name=\"test\" id=\"test\" src=\"http://news.bbc.co.uk\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 500px\" ></iframe>";
?>
</body>
