i am trying to open different iframe windows by assigning iframe src to a variable ,
when the page initially loads it should show only two buttons on the page , when i click on the button , an iframe should get loaded depending on which button is pressed , i tried doing something like this to create buttons and creating iframes , but it is not working
<button id="b1">Button 1</button>
<button id="b2">Button 2</button>
<iframe scrolling="no" src="whatnext">
</iframe>
<script>
var b1 = document.getElementById('b1'), b2 = document.getElementById('b2');
var x = "Hello!";
function showX() {
var whatnext;
if b1.onclick==true
whatnext= "http://community.sitepoint.com/" style="border: 0px none; height: 1555px; margin-left: -116px; margin-top: -25px; width: 930px;"
elseif b2.onclick=true
whatnext= "http://community.sitepoint.com/" style="border: 0px none; height: 555px; margin-left: -116px; margin-top: -25px; width: 330px;"
}
</script>
and another piece of trial is
<button id="b1">Button 1</button>
<button id="b2">Button 2</button>
<iframe scrolling="no" src="x" style="border: 0px none; height: 1555px; margin-left: -116px; margin-top: -25px; width: 930px;">
</iframe>
<script>
var b1 = document.getElementById('b1'), b2 = document.getElementById('b2');
var x ;
function showX() {
src="https:http://stackoverflow.com";
}
b1.onclick = function() {
x = "http://stackoverflow.com;
showX();
};
b2.onclick = function() {
x = "www.sitepoint.com";
showX();
};
</script>
You just need to change the src attribute of the iframe on click. I added the src to the buttons usind the data attribute.
Here is the example http://jsfiddle.net/8wLm42ns/2/
The HTML
<button class="loadiframe" id="b1" data-src="http://jquery.com/" data-width="500" data-height="400">Button 1</button>
<button class="loadiframe" id="b2" data-src="http://sitepoint.com" data-width="650" data-height="350">Button 2</button>
<iframe id='frame' frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="500" height="400">
jQuery
$('.loadiframe').on('click', function(){
var src = $(this).data('src'),
width = $(this).data('width'),
height = $(this).data('height');
$('#frame').css({
width: width,
height: height
}).attr('src', src);
});
For javascript solution try this http://jsfiddle.net/8wLm42ns/3/
The HTML
<div class="loadiframe">
<button id="b1" data-src="http://jquery.com/" data-width="500" data-height="400">Button 1</button>
<button id="b2" data-src="http://sitepoint.com" data-width="650" data-height="350">Button 2</button>
</div>
<iframe id='frame' frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="500" height="400">
javaScript - add in head section
function iframeChange() {
var buttons = document.querySelector(".loadiframe"),
iframe = document.getElementById('frame');
buttons.addEventListener("click", function (e) {
iframe.src = e.target.dataset.src;
iframe.width = e.target.dataset.width;
iframe.height = e.target.dataset.height;
});
}
window.onload = iframeChange;
Try this solution, at click on a button you load the webpage on a specific iframe, no jquery required.
