Dan06 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I have an iframe and when it loads I want it to run js code from a file which is linked to the parent document. Currently, I get an error message stating: parent.ImgUpload is not a function The iframe html code is (simplified): <html> <head> <script src="..." type="text/javascript"></script> </head> <body> <iframe name="imgUploadFrame" id="imgUploadFrame"></iframe> </body> </html> The js code in the iframe that is supposed to run the js code from the parent is: window.onload = function() { parent.ImgUpload(); } Help appreciated.

Dan06 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 The src is for the parent and it contains the js function - ImgUpload(). Yes, both the parent and iframe are on the same server.

Dan06 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 I found the problem; it was with firefox's add-on firebug. I have anther js file that onload executes two POSTs. That for some reason causes an error in firebug, which results in the iframe code not running. Thanks for the help; I appreciate it.
