Hey Bruno,
Perhaps my ramblings with myself didn't make myself clear.
I am simply wanting to populate the innerHTML with content. I have it
working wonderfully with Tapestry but not with Wicket as I'm not sure of the
correct way of doing it.
Essentially my component will be a wysiwyg editor. I don't want to use
standard ones because I have written my own AND I will be doing some fancy
stuff with the content at a later date.
So perhaps here's the correct question:
What's the best way to set innerHTML on an iframe?
I have a javascript function that I would like to call, which is something
like the following:
IFrameArea.populateContent = function( isEditable, allowDocumentTags,
content )
{
var iFrame = document.getElementById( IFrameArea.FRAME_NAME );
if( iFrame.contentWindow != null )
{
if( iFrame.contentWindow.document != null )
{
var iFrameDocument =
iFrame.contentWindow.document;
iFrameDocument.open();
if( allowDocumentTags == true )
{
iFrameDocument.write('<html><head>');
iFrameDocument.write( '<link
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="styles/IFrameStyle.css">' );
iFrameDocument.write('</head><body>');
}
iFrameDocument.write( content );
if( allowDocumentTags == true )
{
iFrameDocument.write('</body></html>');
}
iFrameDocument.close();
if( isEditable == true )
{
IFrameArea.designModeOn();
}
}
}
};
isEditable indicates whether the iframe is editable or not,
allowDocumentTags indicates whether the iframe should contain basic html
tags and CSS, and the content is ... the content (created by the server) -
this is my Tapestry-esq implementation, so of course it is open to change.
The magic question: How do I get this in the HTML for the 'context' panel?
