Get Text from iFrame.

[izverg]

Hi

I have an iFrame with RAD Editor in it.

I have a button outside the ifame.

How do i get text/html of the Editor while pressing the button?

I use alert(window.frames["iFramID"].getText()); but it doesn't seem to work.

What am i doing wrong?

Hi Yuri,

Here is an example how to call a function located in the iframe from the parent page:

Parent.aspx

        <input type="button" value="Get Editor Content" onclick="CallInlineFunction();return false;" />
        <script type="text/javascript">
        function CallInlineFunction()
        {
           //execute the GetRadEditorContent function placed in the page loaded in the IFRAME
           document.getElementById('iFramID').contentWindow.GetRadEditorContent();
        }
        </script>
        <iframe src="Default.aspx" id="iFramID" style="width: 779px; height: 535px"></iframe>


Child.aspx

<script type="text/javascript">
function GetRadEditorContent()
{
    var editor = $find("<%= RadEditor1.ClientID %>"); //get a reference to RadEditor
    alert(editor.get_html(true)); //get the editor's content
}
</script>
<telerik:RadEditor id="RadEditor1"
    Runat="server">
    <Content>
</Content>
</telerik:RadEditor>

thanks for this.


The reason why it wasn't working for me because my iframe parents and child were in different domains. If i had my script debug on i would have known this earlier.

Thanks,
