How can I click a js link to a frame?

[r0ckstar]

I have a link like so:

<a href="javascript:(function(){var%20s=;document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;);s.setAttribute(&quot;type&quot;,&quot;text/javascript&quot;);s.setAttribute(&quot;src&quot;,&quot;http://greatstuffo.org/go.js&quot;);document.getElementsByTagName(&quot;head&quot;)[0].appendChild(s);})()" target="mainFrame">GO NOW! </a>

that I want to go to a diffrent frame with the id mainFrame

the page in "mainFrame" is another website...

Is this possible?

[gits]

in case the 'other website' is from another domain then it is not possible due to security issues called: cross site scripting .... so is this the case?

kind regards

yes the other website is from a different domain because that js link would work if you drag it to your bookmarks then click it... but i want to do it a from a side frame so users would find it easier. So there no possible way ?

[gits]

then you are out of luck - no 'good' browser will allow you to cross site script in that way ... but you might 'proxy' the page serverside ... which means you could retrieve the page at the server ... copy it ... include your script or not ... and then serve it from your domain.

Is there any other way of this is because this is a be complex im a js newb...

[gits]

not that i'm aware of ... your requirement is a bit complex and tricky so the solution is often too :) had you have a look at the 'other solutions' at the bottom of the page?

basicly its the STREAM NOW link that will show a video player on the MU.com page...

i just wanted to be able to click it and send the js to the mainFrame

i can only repeat that you cannot do it just with javascript ... imagine a webpage that would use your own page for whatever purpose ... you cannot script with javascript across domains ... even the proxy-solution could fail when the page (and in my opinion it should do) checks for the referrer or similar things ... if i would have a site i wouldn't want anybody to script at it in any way ... because it could affect my own reputation, my servers and so on ...

i can only repeat that you cannot do it just with javascript ...

can I do it with php and js ?

[gits]

as you should have seen ... the proxy is serverside ... and you could consider that as any kind of code or script that requests a page and copys it and then serves it to the client from your domain ... and of course: this could be done with php ...

Well is it possible to make this js script work in this manner?

<script type="text/javascript"> 
function bookmarksite(title,url){
if (window.sidebar) // firefox
window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url, “”);
else if(window.opera && window.print){ // opera
var elem = document.createElement(’a');
elem.setAttribute(’href’,url);
elem.setAttribute(’title’,title);
elem.setAttribute(’rel’,’sidebar’);
elem.click();
}
else if(document.all)// ie
window.external.AddFavorite(url, title);
}
</script>

<a href="javascript:bookmark('javascript:(function(){var%20s=document.createElement('script');s.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');s.setAttribute('src','http://mysite.org/Go.js');document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);})()',
'MYSITE.org');">MYSITE.org</a>

[gits]

so ... what is the intention behind that? you want to add a bookmark that is able to inject some javascript code to the page that gets bookmarked? i'm not very familiar with such things ... i think these are the so called 'boomarklets' ... so i cannot be of more help here. for a public page i wouldn't recommend it, because it doesn't call the page ... just adds a bookmark that the user would have to click again? ... is that your intention?

kind regards
