I know that there are several similar questions, but I have to ask the question again with attached code because of being unable to work out. I have two .xhtml file in JSF project. One is mainPage.xhtml has a button that generates dynamic html code to create an iframe (iFramePage.xhtml) and show it on the browser;
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<h:head>
<h:outputStylesheet library="css" name="style.css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
/** Create dynamic iframe HTML code for iFramePage.xhtml **/
function createIFrameHTML(){
document.getElementById("iFrameContainer").innerHTML = '<div id="iframe0"><iframe src="iFramePage.xhtml" width="450px" height="300px"></iframe></div>';
}
/** Close iFrame **/
function removeElement() {
/*Both lines work properly when I call inside this page, */
/*..however it does not work by calling from iFramePage.xhtml */
//document.getElementById("iFrameContainer").removeChild("iframe0");
$('iframe0').remove();
}
</script>
</h:head>
<body>
<f:view>
<h:form id="mainForm">
<!-- Control Menu -->
<div id="cntrMenu">
<h:commandButton id="cntrBtn1"
onclick="createIFrameHTML();return false;"></h:commandButton>
<h:commandButton id="cntrBtn2"
onclick="removeElement();return false;"></h:commandButton>
</div>
<div id="iFrameContainer">
<!-- an iframe will be generated by createIFrameHTML() -->
</div>
</h:form>
</f:view>
</body>
</html>
The other page is iFramePage.xhtml that has some html and javascript code;
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<h:head>
<h:outputScript name="......js" />
<h:outputStylesheet name="....css" />
<script>
/** Close iFrame.**/
function closeSelf() {
/* Two lines works properly, however third line does not work!*/
//window.top.location.href = "HIDDEN";
//parent.document.location.href = "HIDDEN";
parent.removeElement();
}
</script>
</h:head>
<body>
<input jsfc="h:commandButton" id="exitBtn" value="Kapat" onclick="closeSelf();" />
</body>
</html>
I can generate the iframe by clicking "cntrBtn1" button and removing by clicking "cntrBtn2" inside mainPage.xhtml. However, I need to remove the iframe within itself (iFramePage.xhtml). When I click "exitBtn" in iFramePage.xhtml, the iframe does not disappear. There is nothing about cross-domain, because mainPage.xhtml and iFramePage.xhtml are in the same JSF project, even in the same directory. I can redirect the parent page (looks at two lines in closeSelf() in iFramePage.xhtml), but I cannot remove the iframe by using parent element, why! Please, help me :)
