IFRAME within a form

micmac

Hi all,
Is it possible to do the following?
Lets assume I have the following...index.php
In this page i have a form. Within the form i have an IFRAME.
This IFRAME then loads a page called special.php
Within special.php there are results form a mysql query like so:

<?
include ("dbconnect.php");
$sql = "select * from cart_products"; 
$sql_result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Could not select data"); 
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)){
$prod_id = $row['prod_id'];
$prod_name = stripslashes($row['prod_name']);
?>
<div><input name="special_prod_id" type="checkbox" value="<? echo $prod_id; ?>"><? echo $prod_name; ?></div>
<?
}
?>

Upon form submission which would be when the user clicks the submit button from the index.php can i get the values for the checkbox called "special_prod_id" within the iframe and pass it along with the other form data in the index.php page?

Cheers.

This is a javascript problem, to see how a child and parent window can communicate save this as iframbot.htm

<!--

	whereas in IE you can skip the document bit

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<form name="baby" method="post" action="">
  <p>
    <input name="radiobutton" type="radio" id="yes"
	onClick="parent.document.parentform.text1.value='Yes!';" value="radiobutton" checked>
    <label for="yes">Yes</label><br>
    <input type="radio" id="no" name="radiobutton" value="radiobutton" 
	onClick="parent.document.parentform.text1.value='Noo!';">
    <label for="no">No</label><br>
    <input name="text1" type="text" value="type and change the form above" size="40"
   onKeyUp="parent.document.parentform.text1.value = this.value;">
    <input type="button" name="Button" value="Change Above" onClick="parent.document.parentform.text1.value=text1.value; return false;">
  </p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

And this as whatever, as long as it's in the same place as the above

<!-- 
	to work in Firefox you have to have
		pframe.document.baby.text1.value='all is well'
	whereas yet again in IE you can skip the document bit
-->
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<iframe frameborder="1" height="300" width="400" id="pframe" name="pframe" src="iframebot.htm" title="Title of My Iframe">
</iframe>
<form action="" method="post" name="parentform" id="parentform">
  <input name="text1" type="text" id="text1" value="Initial Value" size="40">
  <input type="button" name="Button" value="change the kid" onClick="pframe.document.baby.text1.value='all is well';">
</form>
</body>
</html>

You'll have to grab the value of your box in the onsubmit of the form, or whatever other magic you stir up.
