Dynamic frame and targeting

[garethhall]

Hello I want to create an iframe and then target it. The frame creation part is working but I can't seem to target it

Please help

function getFile(fileID,compID){
	var theFrame = document.createElement('iframe');
	theFrame.setAttribute('name','theDload'+fileID);
	theFrame.setAttribute('width','100');
	theFrame.setAttribute('height','100');
	theFrame.setAttribute('id','theDload'+fileID);
	document.getElementById('theDFrame').appendChild(theFrame);
	theDload[fileID].location = './main.php?fileID='+fileID+'&compID='+compID; // problem on this line????
}

Do you receive a JavaScript error?  Does it attempt to load anything?  What exactly is the problem?

The error is: Result of expression 'theDload[fileID]' [undefined] in not an object

You're trying to set the location of the iframe, right?  Why aren't you using the variable theFrame?

[garethhall]

Well theFrame is the created element right? and not the name element. I updated the code and now get this error 'INVALID_STATE_ERR: DOM Exception 11'

theFrame.location = './main.php?fileID='+fileID+'&compID='+compID;
