I,ve this iframe in my page with another page loaded in it. How can I load another page from within that second page.

I've tried this:

document.getElementById("myIframeId").src="url" from a button but didn't work at all.
I can identify the iframe id with

document.getElementById("myIframeId").id

but just wont work.

thanks
 
on the page in the iFrame you would just say...

document.location = "newURL.htm"

Does nothing.
I’m calling a asp page and there is a response.write "hello" at the top of that page along with other stuff and cant make it talk. The interest thing is this: if I call it from outside (parent or a popUp child window) it gets there.
But I really must call it from the document it self. The links are there.
 
In the SCRIPT section of the page containing the IFRAME, change your line:

document.getElementById("myIframeId").src="url"

...to:

document.frames["myIframeId"].location = url; //assuming url is a variable set to the location you want and the frame is literally named "myIframeId".

'hope that helps.
