IFRAME populate content

Hi,

I would like to populate the content of an IFRAME (not the URL) with some HTML.

I can do this through a normal ASP.NET IFRAME using the following code where IFPreview is the name of my IFRAME.

                IFPreview.document.open();
                IFPreview.document.write(document.getElementById('hfHtml').value);
                IFPreview.document.close();

Trying to do the same through a MS CRM form is not successfull 'object does not support this property/method'.

I don't want to forward the IFRAME to a particular url, I want to display HTML on a field on my form... through this IFRAME.

Thanks in advance,
Karlo

Karlo,

I do this with my Embedded Advanced Find function at http://crmentropy.blogspot.com/2009/04/microsoft-crm-embedding-advanced-find.html

The relevant code is thus:

  var iFrame = document.getElementById(iFrameId);
  var win = iFrame.contentWindow;
  var doc = iFrame.contentWindow.document;

  // Without a null src, switching tabs in the form reloads the src
  iFrame.src = null;

  // Preload the iFrame with some HTML that presents a Loading image
  var loadingHtml = ""
    + "<table height='100%' width='100%' style='cursor:wait'>"
    + "  <tr>"
    + "    <td valign='middle' align='center'>"
    + "      <img alt='' src='/_imgs/AdvFind/progress.gif' />"
    + "      <div /><i>Loading View...</i>"
    + "    </td>"
    + "  </tr>"
    + "</table>";

  doc.open();
  doc.write(loadingHtml);
  doc.close();

Where iFrameId is the name specified for the IFRAME in the CRM Form editor (e.g. "IFRAME_Something").
