I have an HTML page which contains an Object tag to host an embedded HTML page.
<object style="border: none;" standby="loading" id="contentarea"
width="100%" height="53%" type="text/html" data="test1.html"></object>
However, I need to be to change the HTML page within the object tag. The current code seems to create a clone of the object and replaces the existing object with it, like so:
function changeObjectUrl(newUrl)
{
var oContentArea = document.getElementById("contentarea");
var oClone = oContentArea.cloneNode(true);
oClone.data = newUrl;
var oPlaceHolder = document.getElementById("contentholder");
oPlaceHolder.removeChild(oContentArea);
oPlaceHolder.appendChild(oClone);
}
This seems a rather poor way of doing this. Does anyone know the 'correct' way of changing the embedded page?
Thanks!
EDIT: In response to answers below, here is the full source for the page I am now using. Using the setAttribute does not seem to change the content of the Object tag.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
function doPage()
{
var objTag = document.getElementById("contentarea");
if (objTag != null)
{
objTag.setAttribute('data', 'Test2.html');
alert('Page should have been changed');
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="Form1" method="POST">
<p><input type="button" value="Click to change page" onclick="doPage();" /></p>
<object style="visibility: visible; border: none;" standby="loading data" id="contentarea" title="loading" width="100%" height="53%" type="text/html" data="test1.html"></object>
</form>
</body>
</html>
The Test1.html and Test2.html pages are just simple HTML pages displaying the text 'Test1' and 'Test2' respectively.
