Using Querystring

Hello.

I have a page on DNN the uses IFRAME.

I want the IFRAME to add querystring to the src, but the parameter will be from another Module (Links for example).

In simple word, when a user press a link from Side pane, The Content pane (With the IFRAME) will open a source with querystring.

For example, if a user press "setup" link, the IFRAME shold direct to www.somelink.com?qry=setup

How can it be done?

Re: Using Querystring

Hello.

What you are looking to do is actually impossible to achieve without custom javascript code. Below, you will find a simple example of how it can be done. Every link you have will need to call the javascript function, passing a url to it. Please, let me know if you have additional questions.

function DoIframe(url_)
{
var obj = document.getElementsByTagName("IFRAME")[0];
obj.src=url_;
return false;
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onclick="DoIframe('http://www.yahoo.com'); return false;">Try it out</a><br /><br />
<a href="#" onclick="DoIframe('http://www.google.com'); return false;">Try it out</a><br /><br />
<a href="#" onclick="DoIframe('http://www.dotnetnuke.com'); return false;">Try it out</a><br /><br />
<a href="#" onclick="DoIframe('http://marketplace.dotnetnuke.com'); return false;">Try it out</a><br /><br />
<a href="#" onclick="DoIframe('http://www.snowcovered.com'); return false;">Try it out</a><br /><br />
<IFRAME width="600" height="600" />
</body>
</html>

Re: Using Querystring

Hello, Is there a way to achieve the same results without using javascript as I would like to avoid problems with client pc's that have javascript disabled. Thanks

Re: Using Querystring

I f client pc's have javascript diasabled, they are going to run into much more trouble then just iframe. For instance disable js and go to dotnetnuke.com, try to navigate (menu is gone) or try to login...
