Object tag and Javascript access

liunx · Jan 9, 2008

Problem description: 
 
In my main page (a.htm) I have set a value to a javascript variable (flag). 
 
I have also created an object element of html type so that I can load an html document (b.htm) in it. 
 
<object type='text/html' border='0' style='position:absolute;z-index:2;top:50px;left:0px;width:100%;height:100%' data="b.htm" id='canvas'></object> 
 
In the second page (b.htm) I want to be able to load that variable (flag). 
 
How do I do that ? I always get undefined error. 
 
So the question it, can I have access to the javascript code/variables of the page that object type=html is created in from within the page loaded in that object tag ? If so how ? 
 
I've tried everything I could possibly think of. 
 
Any help ? 
 
I am looking forward to receiving your reply. 
 
Best Regards to all 
 
I am attaching the code I've created: 
 
------- a.htm------ 
 
 
 
<HTML> 
<HEAD> 
<TITLE>Example</TITLE> 
 
 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
 
</script> 
</HEAD> 
 
<BODY> 
 
<object type='text/html' border='0' style='position:absolute;z-index:2;top:50px;left:0px;width:100%;height:100%' data="b.htm" id='canvas'></object> 
 
 
</BODY> 
</HTML> 
 
 
--------b.htm------- 
 
<HTML> 
<HEAD> 
<TITLE>Popup Example</TITLE> 
 
<BODY style="background:#666666;border:0px;overflow:hidden"> 
 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
 
</script> 
 
 
 
</BODY> 
</HTML>
