Write on <OBJECT type="text/html"> ?

[Arash Dejkam]

Hi All,

Is it possible to write on an <OBJECT type="text/html"> using
document.write( ) from within the html containing that tag the way we write
on a popup window? I couldn't do that after a lot of try.

Thanks in advance.

Remember, you can use single quotes as well.

document.write( "<OBJECT type='text/html'>")
| |
Single quotes----------------+---------+

Don't cross-post, please.

You didn't get the point.
I don't want to write on my html but on the object frame itself, something
like this:

<object id="foo" type="text/html" />
<script>
foo.document.wr ite("Hello World!");
</script>

Yes it is possible to output any type of mark-up at run-time using document.write.

or

document.write( "<OBJECT type=\"text/html\">")
| |
forces the character following to be ignored

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

There must be a better way, than the way you are approching this.

You can do in Netscape 7, Mozilla and Opera 7 using the contentDocument
at least but it doesn't work in IE(5/6):

<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>the document object of an embedded object</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initObject () {
var object, objDoc;
if (document.getEl ementById && (object =
document.getEle mentById('anObj ect'))) {
if (object.content Document) {
objDoc = object.contentD ocument;
}
else if (object.content Window) {
objDoc = object.contentW indow.document;
}
if (objDoc) {
initDoc(objDoc) ;
}
}
}

function initDoc (doc) {
doc.open();
doc.write([
'<html><head><t itle>document.w ritten content<\/title><\/head>',
'<body><p>Kibol ogy for all.<\/p><\/body><\/html>'
].join('\r\n'));
doc.close();
}

window.onload = function (evt) {
initObject();
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>
Here is the object:
<object type="text/html" id="anObject"
width="200" height="200"
data="about:bla nk"></object>
</p>
</body>
</html>

Can anyone report back whether the above writes to the object document
with Safari or Konqueror?

contentDocument is specified in the W3C DOM Level 2 HTML, see

http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-HTML/html.html#ID-38538621

so newer browser like Safari or Konqueror should support it.

But if you want to embed text/html and access its document then simply
go for
<iframe name="iframeNam e" ...></iframe>
and then you should have no trouble in browsers since IE4, Opera 6,
Netscape 6 etc accessing
window.frames.i frameName.docum ent
with script.

Thanks Martin!

bad news it doesn't work in IE!, by the way, I tested your code in Opera
7.01 Build 2651 and it DIDN'T work! but worked in mozilla. I can't use
IFRAME because my page should be XHTML1.0 Strict.

One reason more to go for the iframe. Sorry for not being more specific
about Opera, I had only tested with Opera 7.50 on Windows and as I don't
use <object> myself to render text/html I had no knowledge about details
of Opera support for contentDocument .

It is your decision, if that document type is important to you then you
can't use iframe but currently with the browsers around if you are
interested in consistent and reliable use and scripting then iframe is
much better than object.

contentWindow can not apply to HTML object element

or

var objParg = doc.createEleme nt("p");
objParg.appendC hild(doc.create TextNode("Kibol ogy for all."));
doc.body.append Child(objParg);
since blank document have a body node.

Isn't that asking for trouble? Like asynchronous onload events for
window and document body?
