    Frameset title tricks

    If I have a frameset page with a frame in it, how would I use JS to get the title of the framed document and set it as the title of the parent frameset page?

    If that makes no sense, please ask for clarification.

          Do you want to set it from the framed page or the frameset?

              I want to take the title from the framed page and set it as the browser window's title, to put it simply.

                  The reason why I asked was that if the framed page changes, do you now need to update the title?

                  To set the title from the framed page:
                  [code=javascript]window.onload= function() {
                  parent.document .title = document.title;
                  }[/code]To set it from the frameset:
                  [code=javascript]function changeTitle() {
                  document.title = window.frames[frameName].document.title ;
                  } [/code]

                      Because of the circumstances of the system I've set up, the frameset will reload every time the framed page reloads. And I need to set the title from the frameset page, but when I do[html]<frameset onload="changeT itle()" ... >[/html], it doesn't seem to work.

                      I basically need to set the page title, from the frameset page, as soon as or before the framed page loads. How would that be implemented? I'm really Javascript-dull, sorry. :x

                      The name of the frame is "main", by the way.

                          By the way, I stuck an alert("firing") ; in there and it showed up, so the function's being called, I guess the JS isn't right?

                              Can I see your code? This code works:
                              [code=html]<html>
                              <script>
                              function changeTitle() {
                              document.title = window.frames["main"].document.title ;
                              }
                              </script>
                              <frameset cols="50%,50%" onload="changeT itle();">
                              <frame src="script.htm ">
                              <frame name="main" src="script2.ht m">
                              </frameset>
                              </html>[/code]

                                  [html]<script type="text/javascript">
                                  function changeTitle() {

                                  document.title = window.frames["main"].document.title ;

                                  }
                                  </script>
                                  </head>
                                  <frameset rows="100%,*" onload="changeT itle();" frameborder="NO " border="0">
                                  <frame name="main" src="http://mysite.com:8080/<?php echo $_GET['page']; ?>">
                                  </frameset>[/html]

                                  As you can see, there's only one frame involved, and it covers the entire page. It's part of a cloaked redirect system that would hide the ":8080" of a home web server, but I don't see how any of that would stop it from working.

                                      Are the frameset and frame pages from the same domain?

                                          No. Oh, it's XSS security, isn't it? Gah.

                                              Yes, you can't access pages from another domain. The workaround would be to use some server-side code to get the page and load it into the frame and then document.title would become accessible to the frameset page.
