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!
