So your greybox window appears with content then? I'm not quite sure
if it does from your posting. If not, I've got some FAQs on that at
http://www.malthusian-solutions.com/ms/index.php?q=node/6.
What browser/OS combination are you using?
My own personal preference is to create functions in the main page for
greyboxes to call rather than access the main elements directly. That
way you don't have to worry about changing an ID or if you decide
later you need to do data validation or massage the variable (perhaps
you need to add 'id' to the front of it or something). Also, it
definitely helps with debugging, in my experience.
In your main page I would have:
function getOwnCode() {
var e =document.getElementById('txtOwnCode');
return e ? e.value : "";
}
Also, document.write usually won't do anything useful in a function
that is called from onLoad. You need to call it when the page is
still rendering:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title>Template content Preview</title>
<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='layout/styles.css' />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<body>
<script type='text/javascript'>top.getOwnCode();</script>
</body>
</html>
I keep nearly all of my javascript in top (in the page header
include), so I use it instead of parent.parent.
Hope that helps!
