Example
In our example we will first create an HTML document containing a frameset
with two columns. Each column is set to 50% of the browser window:
<html>
<frameset cols="50%,50%">
<frame id="leftFrame" src="frame_cdoc.htm">
<frame id="rightFrame" src="frame_a.htm">
</frameset>
</html>
|
The HTML document "frame_cdoc.htm" is put into the first column, and the
HTML document "frame_a.htm" is put into the second column.
The source of "frame_cdoc.htm" is as follows:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showCDoc()
{
var x=parent.document.getElementById("leftFrame")
alert(x.contentDocument.documentElement.tagName)
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" onclick="showCDoc()"
value="Show content-document's first tag" />
</body>
</html>
