Hello All,

I have created a dynaform with a panel. In the "content" property of the panel I have put an iframe

<iframe src="http://test.example.com/testfile.html" width="400" height="250" > </iframe>;

How can I get the current url or the current content that is displayed in the panel after user interaction?
I tried
$("#mypanel").find(".panel-body").html();
but it returns the original html defined in the "content" field.

Thanks in advance.

Give your iframe an ID like this:

Code: Select all

<iframe id="myFrame" src="http://test.example.com/testfile.html" width="400" height="250" > </iframe>;

Then you can use the following JavaScript code to get its content:

Code: Select all

var content = $("#myFrame").html()

To get its URL, you can use this:

Code: Select all

var url = $("#myFrame").attr("src")

I just tried this code and it works to get the contents of a panel:

Code: Select all

var contents = $("#mypanel").find(".panel-body").html()

Remember that you have to use the ID of your panel in the code.

Hello Amos,

Thank you for the response.

I have just tried your solutions. They work fine but display the original URL / content of the panel as it was defined in the Panel "content" property.

However, the user can click on the webpage displayed in the panel (http://test.example.com/testfile.html) and after user interactions, redirections etc. the current URL / content can be different than the original one.
Lets's say that in the result the panel displays the page "http://test.example.com/result.html"

Is it possible to get the current (result) URL / content of the Panel in the JavaScript?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Amos,

Your solutions gave me another idea which I combined with http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9381 ... rom-iframe:

var content = document.getElementById ("myFrame").contentWindow.location.href

Finally it seems to work. It is important to use the id of the frame, not the id of the panel.


Thank you for the clue with the id of the iframe.
