AJAX Iframes

[Shawazi]

Why would an iframe become unaccessible after creating, destroying, and then re-recreating it? On the first creation I can access it fine with this line:

//obj gets HTML with the IFrame
obj.innerHTML = object.ResponseText; 

//access iframe
var myFrame = window.frames['frameName'];

//access DIV inside iframe
var myDIV =  myFrame.document.getElementById('innerDIV');

I then do this:

obj.innerHTML = "";

Then I can toggle to re-rerun the first code block which will then no longer work.

I changed to using this code and it worked:

for (i=0;i<window.frames.length;i++) {
		var curName = window.frames[i].name;
		if (curName == "bgFrame") {    

			var curFrame = window.frames[i];        

		}

}

for some reason I need to loop through the dom for it to work after destroying the frame and bringing it back. any ideas?

That's what I would've surmised, the name already existed in the window objects

When I remove it out of the window why would it still be in that object? If I run the loop with it gone it does not come up.

I think it depends how you remove it. How did you remove it?
