[RESOLVED] showHide(parent.div) from child.php in iframe?

[fuzzy1]

Hey Again...

In iframe.index.php I'm hoping to echo something like the following:

echo "
<input type='button' value='Submit' name='B3'  onclick=\"window.parent.showHide('t_3');\">";

where upon -- clicking Submit -- showHide('t_3) executes in the parent.doucment.
Need I say... the above does not work.

Parent.js
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function showHide(inID) {
if (document.getElementById(inID).style.display == 'none') {
document.getElementById(inID).style.display = 'block';
} else {
document.getElementById(inID).style.display = 'none';
}
}
</script>

Use firefox and the developer toolbar / firebug pluggins to generate a javascript error message then post it here. This thread may get moved because it's not a PHP problem.

Quite right - moved to ClientSide Technologies.

rmbarnes82's suggestion of pasting a Javascript error would help us, but even better.. can you provide a URL to this page?

Okay, Here's the solution.
Thought it migh have ad something to do with the php, but the problem lay in the HTA. For an iframe to be considered safe in an hta (alowing script access to the HTA file that contains it) application="yes" must be declared in the iframe and each parent.

BINGO!!!! So... as an HTA, providing a url wasn't a possibility.
But thanks anyway.
