JavaScript - Tracking Mouse Clicks In Iframe With An External Site

Okay, so I built up 2 codes, which do the same cause. but which one would be most efficient? or maybe which one would be best compatible for browsers?

CODE 1 :

- this code allows for me to use an #id
Code:

<a onclick="trackClick('1');" href="http://www.google.com" rel="nofollow" target="_new">(track 1)</a>

function trackClick(trackid) {
    ajax = ajaxFunction();
    var url = base_url+ "app_trackClicks.php";
    url = url+ "?trackid=" +trackid;
    ajax.open("GET",url,true);
    ajax.send(null);
}

CODE 2
- using the REL
Code:

<a rel="randomclicks" href="http://www.google.com" rel="nofollow" target="_new">(track 2)</a>

function addLoadEvent(func)
{
    var oldonload = window.onload;
    if (typeof window.onload != 'function'){
        window.onload = func;
    } else {
        window.onload = function(){
        oldonload();
        func();
        }
    }

}

addLoadEvent(randomclicks);

function randomclicks()
{
    if (!document.getElementsByTagName){ return; }
    var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a");

    // loop through all anchor tags
    for (var i=0; i<anchors.length; i++){
        var anchor = anchors[i];

        if ((anchor.getAttribute("rel") == "randomclicks")){
            anchor.onclick = function () 
            {
                ajax = ajaxFunction();
                var url = base_url+ "app_trackClicks.php";
                url = url+ "?randomclicks";
                ajax.open("GET",url,true);
                ajax.send(null);
            };
        }
    }
}

Thanks

Hey guys. Is there any any ANY way to read highlighted text of in an iframe that is displaying an external server / site? Say you select some text in the iframe and click a button outside of the iframe that prints the selected text to a textbox?

Really really would love to do this or any ANY workaround. This really sucks that its a security measure by default that doesn't allow this!! Ugh!

Hello,

First time on the forum and I am admittedly a complete noob, so forgive me for any grievous misconceptions.

I am a teacher trying to create a bulletin board on my website where students, teachers, and parents can post messages. I am trying to use the site linoit.com I am trying to embed that site on my website using an iframe url: http://www.capretto.net/stickyboard.shtml

My problem is that when you go to the message board on my site it asks your for a username and password to login to access my message board from linoit. I was hoping there is a scripts or other trick that will auto fill the username and password when the page loads so that the message board opens automatically.

Not too worried about privacy, but I could distribute the username and password to all interested parents, teachers, etc. but in my experience one more step between students and the information they need can be the difference between them not receiving the info.

I'd be happy to give any contributors credit on my site for their coding help. Thanks in advance.

I have two pages A and B.
I have a link in the page A.
I have two iframes in the page B.

In practice, the link in the page A must open the page B and the link's href must open in the second iframe of the page B.
Is there any script that does this?

Disclaimer 1: I am not a programmer, just a curious designer, so please take that into consideration in your replies.
Disclaimer 2: Despite all advices against it, I couldn't find a better solution to my website than using iFrame
Disclaimer 3: Before asking for help, I researched *several* forums and although I found people discussing similar issues, I was not successful at adapting their solutions to my needs.

Gentlemen,

I need your help implementing a method to intercept and redirect external links to a dynamic iframe. By "dynamic" iframe I mean an iframe whose SRC would be filled up in accordance to the external URL being intercepted and that it would resize its HEIGHT accordingly in order to avoid scroll bars.
The function for resizing the iframe id="child" is already correctly implemented like so:

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function calcHeight()
{
  //find the height of the internal page
  var the_height=
    document.getElementById('child').contentWindow.
      document.body.scrollHeight;
  //change the height of the iframe
  document.getElementById('child').height=
      the_height;
}
//-->
</script>

and the call
Code:

<iframe src="/main/index.php" width="100%" onLoad="calcHeight();" height="1" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" id="child">

This what I have going on:

- index.html => contains some content and the iframe id="child"
- childpage1[...N].php => several PHP pages which I do not want to show up outside of the parent "index.html". These pages use clean URLs from CMS such as "http://mydomain.com/pages/this-is-a-child-page/"

Users might click on external links from search engines, for instance, about an specific page such as "http://mydomain.com/pages/this-is-child-page-7/" which obviously would load the page "orphaned", outside "index.html" and that is exactly what I am trying to avoid.

Based on what I have researched so far, the best way (please, correct me if I'm wrong) to deal with this would be implementing a test condition on the header of the PHP child pages to verify if they are on "top" or not (if they are already inside the "parent" object "index.html"). If FALSE, the page would load normally, if TRUE, a variable should be created to store the URL of the requested page and passed through the link to the page "index.html" which would be immediately called.

In "index.html" there would be a script to collect the variable sent through the link (something like "http://mydomain.com/?var=http://mydomain.com/pages/this-is-child-page-7/") and break the text string apart, store a portion of PATHNAME (in this case, "/pages/this-is-child-page-7/) and use it to replace the current SRC of iframe id="child". Probably, there would have to be another testing function in this script to compare the variable passed from the "orphaned" PHP page against the current value of SRC in iframe id="child" to determine if any action is actually required.

This "replacement" function would be called onLoad and if tested true would run and refresh the page with the proper value in the iframe SRC.
All this should be accomplished while still making the iframe HEIGHT dynamically adjustable and show a "clean" URL in the browser, such as "http://mydomain.com".

The potential issues I foresee is an infinite loop due to two onLoad queries (one for SRC, another for HEIGHT) in the parent and child objects, which might required a merge into a single script.

As you can tell, I have an idea of what needs to be done but not a clue on how to get it done. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
