Dear all, Not so simple question. Here's what I'm trying to do.
I want to be able to provide a simple script tag pair so that my client's can cut and paste it into their site. This is to try and to make it as simple as posisble for them ;-) The script is then meant to write an iFrame into the document, using the served PHP file for the source. So far, so good. Now for the tricky part.
I want the PHP file to include a pop-up menu which calls a script in the calendar.js file, which in turn reloads (using replace so that the back button doesn't break) the served page, but with an updated parameter - essentially the new year and month to display.
Here are the bare bones of my not-quite-functioning solution. (I'm using Firefox - once I get it working I realise I'll need to tweak how I get the object to do the replace on, and indeed the replace function itself for IE 5 etc...)
The alert is working (so the parameter is being passed), but the reload isn't. What am I doing wrong?
Hope some passing geniuses out there can help/have cracked this one before.
