theodore Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 It should be "<script>try{top.toolbar.doSomething2()}catch(e){alert(e);}</script>"Try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theodore Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 :)Sorry, I've missed something.. That's the name 'toolbar' of the frame is a reserved word..You should change it. For example, 'tool_bar'.And please remember that if you execute the script 'doSomething2()', the page may be redirected to another page. So the browser is unable to execute the script again.So I think it is better to create a <span> and use 'innerHTML' to change to text.For example, use the following code for the 'button.htm': <html><head><script>function doSomething2(){document.all.maintext.innerHTML="this is my document";}</script></head><body><span id="maintext"></span></body></html> And, you know, when the button2.htm is executed, the function 'doSomething2' will also be executed at once. So I think you should add a button to the page 'button.html':<input type="button" value="Click me!" onclick="java script:functionname()">create a JavaScript function:function functionname(){try{parent.tool_bar.doSomething2()}catch(e){alert(e);}} or directly link to the button.htm like this:<input type="button" value="Click me!" onclick="java script:parent.tool_bar.doSomething2()">Also, I think it is better to use:<script language="JavaScript">instead of<script>I hope it is work for your web page and my code is useful to you!
