Change textbox in iframe from parent


Question

Hey,

Im having a bit of a problem, im trying to update the value in a texbox that is in an iframe. the updated value is coming from the normal page.

<input type="text" name="tb1">
<input type="button">

<iframe>
<input type="text" name="tb2">
</iframe>

I want to take the value in tb1 and put it in tb2 when the user presses the button.

Im still searching the net to see if i can see how to do this, but im hoping that some smart person here will already know :D

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

This can be done using javascript. I would recommend doing this when the form is submitted rather than user click on button. You could also do this when the input looses focus. If you have included jquery framework it can be done with the following code

$('input[name="tb1"]').blur(function(){

val = $(this).attr('value');

$('input[name="tb2"]').attr('value', val);

});

Assuming you can give your input elements IDs (they were only named in your example) and that you only have one iframe, this should work.

window.frames[0].document.getElementById('tb2').value = document.getElementById('tb1').value;

And here is a jQuery equivalent, since we're on the subject.

$('iframe:first').contents().find('#tb2').val($('#tb1').val());

    • It's been an age since I did desktop support, but here goes: You have an issue with Windows 11, which is fair.  You are using a freeware 3rd party app to make modifications to the default Windows 11.  Since an update, this 3rd party application no longer plays nice with Windows 11.  And this is somehow Windows 11's fault? Sorry, not buying that this is a Windows 11 problem... it's a customization issue that has just appeared, but standard 3rd party support.   Clearly you're upset.  You can't make Windows do anything, just like you can't make MacOS run Explorer or Linux run Nintendo games natively.  And I know people are going to say "sure, it's possible..." but those aren't defining elements of the OS.  You can't have animated backgrounds in Windows 11 natively -- so it's trash amirite??? I did quick searches about changing the default fonts and there are ways to do it, and clearly 3rd party freeware apps can do it (basically my guess is they're making registry changes on your behalf) and clearly they're having issue.   You can make your computer do a lot of things, but sometimes you get what you pay for. Did a quick search and don't see an easy option in Windows 10 either.  Some of these links - ironically - are for Windows 10.  They still apply. Here's a video tutorial of how it can be done without a 3rd party:   Same reference here with a bit more detail: https://www.howtogeek.com/716407/how-to-change-the-default-system-font-on-windows-10/ Once the font is chosen, the size can be changed via personalization from my understanding. Hope this helps.
