Hi! Tried this question in jQuery(English) without any response so I am hoping for more luck here.
I am using jQuery 1.3.2 and for some reason I am trying to add event listeners to windows/documents in iframes (yeah I know...) from the parent window and I have run into some problems... Does anyone know why it's possible to bind a listener to the click event of the document in an iframe but not bind a listener to the unload event of the window object (contentWindow) in the same iframe? At least the unload isn't triggered when the iframe.src is changed. Since it is possible to bind to the click event of the document in the iframe an unload handler will automatically be registered in IE (to prevent memory leaks) but this unload handler will not be triggered when the iframe.src is changed, which in turn will cause an annoying javascript error (permission denied) when you first alter the iframe.src and then reload the top window. I have tested with "beforeunload" with the same result. Using win.attachEvent/addEventListener works fine... $(document).ready(function() { $("#clickable").click(function() { $("#frame1").attr("src", "frame2.html"); }); addEvents(window); }); function addEvents(win) { if (win.contentWindow) { win = win.contentWindow; } $(win.document).bind("click", function() {alert("click");}); $(win).bind("unload", function() {alert("unload");}); var frames = win.document.getElementsByTagName("iframe"); for (var i=0; i < frames.length; i++) { addEvents(frames[i]); } } <div id="clickable">Click me</div> <iframe id="frame1" src="frame1.html"></iframe> /Thank you for showing interest Henrik --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
