Need Some Serious Help With Writing To A Frame!!

**Salvatore** · Mar 2nd, 2004, 10:52 AM

I have a page that is broken into 3 frames (Top, Left, and Right)...

On the top I have a search box to search by keywords...I found a script that will help me with this...this is seen below:

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Original:  Dion ([email protected]) -->
<!-- Web Site:  http://www.iinet.net.au/~biab -->

<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

<!-- Begin
var item = new Array();

/* Here is where all the magic happens.  
    Just enter as many additional pages that
    that you want to search, then fill in the
    additional listings for each page.
*/

// "Page Name","path","Page Title","Many,Key,Words","Descriptive Comments"

c=0; item[c]=new Array("Closing a Checking Account","http://us-apps-06.us.hsbc/intranet/dept/icmdirbank.nsf/vwHTMLID/MBOR5VFLP8?OpenDocument","Closing a Checking Account","closing a dda account,checking","This is the prcoedure for closing a customers checking account");
c++; item[c]=new Array("about.htm","","About Me","about,author,contact,email,who","Contact details and general information about the creator of the site and what the site is about.");
c++; item[c]=new Array("links.htm","","Links page","links,more,where,similar,friends","Links to my favourite sites which I find interesting. Other friends sites which have similar interests to my own.");
c++; item[c]=new Array("main.htm","main/","Main Page","content,main,focus","The main part of my site which contains what you have come to see. Lots of stuff like that and more great things. All in a sub directory.");
c++; item[c]=new Array("logo.jpg","main/images/","Link Logo","link,image,logo,graphic","The logo.jpg is just a small image which you can place on your site as a link to me. It's in a second level subdirectory.");

page="<html><head><title>Search Results</title></head><body bgcolor='white'><center><table border=0 cellspacing=10 width=80%>";


function search(frm) {
win = window.open("","","scrollbars");
win.document.write(page);
txt = frm.srchval.value.split(" ");
fnd = new Array(); total=0;
for (i = 0; i < item.length; i++) {
fnd[i] = 0; order = new Array(0, 4, 2, 3);
for (j = 0; j < order.length; j++)
for (k = 0; k < txt.length; k++)
if (item[i][order[j]].toLowerCase().indexOf(txt[k]) > -1 && txt[k] != "")
fnd[i] += (j+1);
}
for (i = 0; i < fnd.length; i++) {
n = 0; w = -1;
for (j = 0;j < fnd.length; j++)
if (fnd[j] > n) { n = fnd[j]; w = j; };
if (w > -1) total += show(w, win, n);
fnd[w] = 0;
}
win.document.write("</table><br>Total found: "+total+"<br></body></html>");
win.document.close();
}
function show(which,wind,num) {
link = item[which][1] + item[which][0]; 
line = "<tr><td><a href='"+link+"'>"+item[which][2]+"</a> Score: "+num+"<br>";
line += item[which][4] + "<br>"+link+"</td></tr>";
wind.document.write(line);
return 1;
}
//  End -->
</script>
</HEAD>

<!-- STEP TWO: Copy this code into the BODY of your HTML document  -->

<BODY>

<center>

<form method=get action="javascript:void(0)" onsubmit="search(this); return false;">
<tr><td><input type=text name=srchval value=""><input type=submit value="Search"></td></tr>
</form>

</center>

I need help with one piece of this code...and that is within the Function search...right now as you can see, it is opening a new window, and then creating the page by document.write....

What I want to do is to display the results of the search into the "right" frame of the parent window....As of now, I ahve had no success in this...could someone please assist me with this, or point me in the right direction.

Thank you.

have you tried like, document.frames.parent.framename.InnerHTML ?

That's not totally correct code, but try playing with it, use www.w3schools.com as a reference...

vbNEo,

Thank you very much for trying to assist me on this problem...

I attempted to try different variations for the line of code under the Function search (frm)...that line as you see it in my thread is :

Code:

win = window.open("","","scrollbars");
win.document.write(page);

I adjusted it to:

Code:

win = Parent.right;

I removed the line that writes to the window with the page.

The very strange thing is that when I closed the browser down, and reopen the page that has the frames and this script...it will work, but if I try to do anything else in the page, and then try the search, it gives me the dreaded "Access denied" error

I really need help with this...I tried that site but I could not find the right help....

DO you have ANY suggestions?

Thank you.
