I've been experimenting with uploading files via iFrame targeting. I've got everything working well concerning the uploading, including
having the file processing done by a component method. I've also begun to include other type of form inputs and can process those in the method. However, I'm stumped on how to get access to the form values back on the main page that contains the iFrame. My instincts tell me that the very nature of what I'm doing (uploading images and targeting the results back to an iFrame in the main page) will prevent me from getting access to any variables for display in the main page without refreshing the main page. So, it would seem that the only way to upload files and form values and display that information back on the main page containing the iFrame target would be to make the iFrame visible and use it as part of the main page's display. All the tutorials I've read show how to upload files using this Ajax technique (and yes, according to dictionary.com, Ajax has outgrown its meaning as an acronym only, to mean any method of transferring data without refreshing a page. (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML: A collection of techniques for creating interactive web applications without having to reload the complete web page in response to each user input, thus making the interaction faster. dictionary.com.including iFrames, for you Ajax purists), but none show a method of using that data on the page containing the iFrame. (Perhaps I could use jQuery from the iFrame to target elements on the main page and change the values of those elements without refreshing.???) Make sense? Does this seem correct? Are there other means of achieving my goal? Thanks for any input!
