Hi Code Projet !

I would like to have :
- a page A with several links to different playlists
- a page B with an iframe to load the selected playlist

So far, I have this page B :
http://sg-cms.azurewebsites.net/opespe/travel2/boarding.php?id=summer-1

That should load this page in the iframe : http://soundsgoood.com/playlist/summer-1

But I can't get the ?id=summer-1 to change the iframe source accordingly.

Here is the page B code :

<html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body> 
        <div id="header">
            <a href="index.html">Back</a>
        </div>

        <iframe id="myIframe" src="http://soundsgoood.com/playlist/" style="width:100%; height:1000px;"></iframe>

        <script>
        (function() {
            var frameBaseSRC = document.getElementById("myIframe").src;
            var frameQueryString = document.location.href.split("id=")[1];
            if (frameQueryString != undefined) {
                document.getElementById("myIframe").src = frameBaseSRC + "?id=" + frameQueryString;
            }
         })();
         </script>
    </body>
</html>

What do I miss here ? (I'm a novice, srory ^^).

Solution 1

why dont you replace de iframe for another way like Web Parts, ContentPlaceHolder etc? with this you have more control and accessibility on your source code.

iFrames isn't secure and many firewalls block iframes
