Loose value Query_String in an iFrame

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi all,On a form i have 1 embedded single category view, and 1 iFrame that contains a form with another embbeded view. I do it this way because i can’t get multiple embedded views to work on 1 form in R6 (??!!).

I’m passing parameters in the URL, and retrieve them using the method described in Jake’s article, http://www.codestore.net/A55692/store.nsf/unid/DOMM-4QABB3 .

I use these parameters to determine the single category value.

When catching these Query_string values on a form, there is no problem.

when trying this on a form that is within an iFrame, i always end up with an empty Query_String.

When i view the form that is called in the iFrame direct it is working.

So, why do i loose the values of my QueryString when doing this within an iFrame?

How could i get these values within my iFrame?

thanks in advance,

Sincerly,

Johan.

An IFRAME has its own URL which is different from the URL of the containing web page, as you can see if you View Source on the containing page. Domino determines the URL for the IFRAME contents, and it does not copy the query string from its own URL and add it to the URL of the IFRAME.

While one might argue whether this is how Domino should do it, here are two workarounds that will let you access the query string contents of the containing page, from the form opened in the IFRAME.

Use JavaScript in the form that’s embedded in the IFRAME to request the value of parent.location.href. Then use the JavaScript string functions to extract the URL contents.

Don’t use an embedded editor – instead, create passthru HTML on the containing form that includes an
