IFrame and form inside - what happens?

[Tom Szabo]

I know, they are bad, so please dont't just tell me that I should not use
it...

So, assume I have a page MyPage.

MyPage has an IFrame in it with
'src=http://www.MyDomain.com/Test.php?id=24'

This page on the other hand has a form inside.

What should happen when the form submits?

TIA,

Tom

How is this a JavaScript question? And what are "they" and why are "they
bad"?

Anyway, an -iframe- is just a window object, which has as -document- object
as a property, which has a -forms- collection.

If the form on the document in the window that is the iframe has no -target-
attribute and it's submitted, the results of the form submission will appear
in the window it started in (the iframe).

The data that is in the form is collected by the browser and sent to the
server. The server processes that data and sends the results back.

What does this have to do with Javascript? It is easily tested in less
time than it would have taken you to post the question.

Sorry,

It was 4 am in the morning or about, so I was getting a little tired :-(

Also the BAD stuff came from the intention to avoid half a dozen replies
telling me that I should not use frames.

May be not this newsgroup, but I can often see people asking questions about
how to do this or that and the person who replies only occupied with pushing
his opinion through to the originator of the question, most often not having
a clue about the big picture

So this is what I wanted to avoid....

Tom
