Clicking within a frame

nca · 01-21-2006, 01:53 PM

Would it be possible to have javascript detect if anything is clicked within a frame in a 2 frame window?

Such as this example:

Have a window open that is divided into 2 frames, a top and bottom. Would it be possible for the top frame to contain a script to know if anything has been clicked within the bottom frame's contents?

or I could have have a page open a new window and report back to the first page if anything has been clicked within the new window?

I am running a page exchange and would like to implement the feature of knowing if a member actually clicks on any links within the page that is being displayed.

Any thoughts are GREATLY appreciated.

Here is my example frame window:

PHP Code:


			
<html>



<head><title>Site</title></head>



<frameset rows="45,*" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0">



    <frame name="top" scrolling="no" noresize src="topframe.php">

    

    <frame name="bottom" noresize SCROLLING="yes" src="http://www.SiteThatIWantToKnowIfClickedOn.com">

        

    <noframes>

    <body><p>This page uses frames and your browser does not support them.</p></body>

    </noframes>



</frameset>



</html>

How can I capture keypress events of frames to process them in the frameset ?

But it's so much easier to put it in the 2nd frame doc. Just set a flag and put it onclick of the body tag

But if it's a remote file, it won't work by editing the page....

If it's a remote file you can't access it via javascript full stop.

Security reasons.

You could use an iframe, put onclick="flag='true';" in the tag, then test for the value of 'flag'. Of course be sure you initialize flag=false; and that it's a global variable
