jQuery AJAX Refresh in an iFrame

Tinkering around with a jQuery enabled Drupal module today, I was trying to make an iFrame that continuously updated. I tried the typical meta-tags and window.location.refresh() javascript but I wasn't satisfied with constant progress bar on the page. An AJAX (or AHAH really) request was needed to make this work smoothly.

The trick was combining some standard javascript selectors with the jQuery $ function. Here's my iframe:

Hi there, first of all

Hi there,

first of all thanks for sharing your code and help with jquery issues that sometime make us loose time to finishing tasks in a reasonable time.

I have the next problem,

I have a form with input elements, and I want to fill the input elements when the iframe is load. I'm trying to use

- javascript that is sit in the mail document that contains the iframe

$(window.frames['my-iframe'].document).ready(function() {

text = "testing"
updatevalue(text);

}

updatevalue(text) {

$('input#some-text', window.frames['my-iframe'].document).attr({
value: text,
});
}

- html of the document inside the iframe:

Testing jquery

Problem: works in firefox and safari if I call the function from the , but IE send an error message that is:

"Line xx
Char: 1
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Code: 0
URL: http://mysite.com/somethig"

Am I losing something?

cheers,

Marta
