Javascript Iframe Refresh Issue with Firefox....

[mediagulch]

Hello,

We are currently running banner ads on a few of our sites and we implemented a javascript so they refresh after every 20 seconds. The script works great in IE though in Firefox it doesn't work at all. We have included the script below and would appreciate any feedback possible.

<script type="text/javascript">

var milliSecondsToWait = 20000;

function reloadIFrame(){
document.frames['iFrameName'].location.href =
"http://newt1.adultadworld.com/jsc/z5/ff2 .html?n=607;c=2445;s=271;d=14;w=728;h=90;p=271"
myVar = setTimeout("reloadIFrame()",milliSecondsToWait);
}
var myVar = setTimeout("reloadIFrame()",milliSecondsToWait);

</script>

The code that we are using in the body of the our pages is:

                <td width="729" height="90" valign="top"> <script language="javascript">
		  document.write('<iframe id="iFrameName" src="http://newt1.adultadworld.com/jsc/z5/ff2 .html?n=607;c=2445;s=271;d=14;w=728;h=90;p=271" frameborder=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true" width=728 height=90></iframe>');
		  </script></td>

Again we appreciate any help in advance and wish we knew more about javascript to not have to bother anyone who is already doing an awesome job helping some many other people.

Have a great day.

Moved to Javascript forum

Add name="iFrameNam e" to the iframe.

Add name="iFrameNam e" to the iframe.

either that or change "frames['iFrameName']" to getElementById( 'iFrameName')

[acoder]

either that or change "frames['iFrameName']" to getElementById( 'iFrameName')

yes, and that too... :)

[mediagulch]

Add name="iFrameNam e" to the iframe.

Thanks for the feedback on this and when I changed the code to:

[CODE=javascript]<td width="729" height="90" valign="top"> <script language="javas cript">
document.write( '<iframe name="iFrameNam e" id="iFrameName " src="http://newt1.adultadwo rld.com/jsc/z5/ff2 .html?n=607;c=2 445;s=271;d=14; w=728;h=90;p=27 1" frameborder=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 scrolling="no" allowTransparen cy="true" width=728 height=90></iframe>');
</script></td>[/CODE]

Firefox still doesn't seem to be refreshing the frame. Did I do this correctly?

Also tried the other version of modifying the javascript to the following:

[CODE=javascript]<script type="text/javascript">

var milliSecondsToW ait = 20000;

function reloadIFrame(){
document.getEle mentById('iFram eName').locatio n .href="http://newt1.adultadwo rld.com/jsc/z5/ff2.html? n=607;c=2445;s= 271;d=14;w=728; h=90;p=271"
myVar = setTimeout("rel oadIFrame()",mi lliSecondsToWai t);
}
var myVar = setTimeout("rel oadIFrame()",mi lliSecondsToWai t);

</script>
[/CODE]

This was also unsuccessful for me, I am thinking that I am doing something wrong here.

Any additional feedback would be awesome and thank you again for the help alreay.

Hi Ronnil,

Yes I do get an error code from Firefox and it is:

Error: document.getEle mentById("iFram eName").locatio n has no properties
Source File: file:///c:/dev/web/pages/TMP7q0g9kb8jp.h tm
Line: 15

Hope that helps and how can we fix this?

[ronnil]

try removing the .href so it becomes

document.getEle mentById('iFram eName').locatio n = 'yoururl';

[mediagulch]

try removing the .href so it becomes

document.getEle mentById('iFram eName').locatio n = 'yoururl';

Removed the .href and no longer seeing the errors, though the iframe doesn't appear to be freshing. So the code now looks like this:

[CODE=javascript]<script type="text/javascript">

var milliSecondsToW ait = 20000;

function reloadIFrame(){
document.getEle mentById('iFram eName').locatio n = "http://newt1.adultadwo rld.com/jsc/z5/ff2 .html?n=607;c=2 445;s=271;d=14; w=728;h=90;p=27 1"
myVar = setTimeout("rel oadIFrame()",mi lliSecondsToWai t);
}
var myVar = setTimeout("rel oadIFrame()",mi lliSecondsToWai t);

</script> [/CODE]

Any ideas?

See this link.

Either access as part of the frames array and use location.href or as an object and use the src property.

hi
i also seem to have same problem
when i use

document.getEle mentById("myif" ).src=my new url

it works fine in IE
but dont do anything in firefox or netscape or opera

i have the iframe hidden and when i load the url in document.getEle mentById("myif" ).src i also do document.getEle mentById("myif" ).visibility="v isible"
