Call Javascript function from another iFrame.
Posted: 18 Apr 07 3:28 PM

I need to set the focus to a specific tab on the custticktabdata template from my close ticket button on ticket details screen.
How can i reference the correct frame and exec a javascript function(which is NOT inline in that template) from my details frame?
Function is ClickTab(formname , tabname)
Any help is appreciated!! |

Nandu,
On the template csrticketinfo, I added a button that called a javascript function "testClick()" that lives on the csrticketinfo page. That function looks like this:
function testClick()
{
parent.infodisp.tickettabs.tabs.clickTab("csrtickcalact", "tdeftab");
}
That button, when clicked, selects the "Calendar Activities" tab. is that what you're looking for? Basically, it's a matter of figuring out where you are in the document object model and then finding the way (via parent and the frame names) to the page (and hence the function) you need.

fiogf49gjkf0d Thanks Jeff.But thatz what i have been trying since yesterday evening.
The close ticket button is in my ticketinfo page and i am trying to set focus to a specific tab in my tab set.
I tried the following and it wrote a text in my tabdata template.
document.frames[0].frames[0].document.write('function foo(){alert("hi");}');
So thru DOM i am able to get to the correct frame and alert something .But when i try to executre clilckTab , i get this js error...
"Object does not support this method"
Also in the call you provided , what is .tabs???

fiogf49gjkf0d Nandu,
That's bizarre, because what I posted is selecting the "Calendar Activities" template.
I even tried putting the function on the csrticketinfo template using your DOM reference and it works:
function testClick()
{
//debugger;
//parent.infodisp.tickettabs.tabs.clickTab("csrtickcalact", "tdeftab");
document.frames[0].frames[0].clickTab("csrtickcalact", "tdeftab");
}
Which is still selecting the Calendar Activities tab, so you definitely have the right DOM reference from the template csrticketinfo.
Are you trying to dynamically write a function on that template and then call that function? I don't remember for sure, but I think I tried that and could never get it to work. If all you need to do is select a specific tab, the code above should work.
As for the ".tabs" reference, it's the name of the frame that contains the csrticktabdata template. If you open the template csrticktabs, you'll see the first frame is named "tabs" and the second frame is named "querydata". A diagram is probably the best option, but here's a description of my traversing the DOM:
parent = "main_content", which contains the template csrtickmain, which contains the frame infodisp.
infodisp = top frame that contains ticket details template (csrticketinfo), which contains the iframe named "tickettabs"
tickettabs - iframe that contains template csrticktabs, which contains the frames tabs and querydata
tabs - the frame that contains the tab names/links (the javascript template)
querydata - the frame that contains the data for the clicked tab
If you post your javascript that you're using to actually call the clickTab function, I can try it.

Jeff ,
When i do this , i get a msgbox with this url.
alert(document.frames[0].frames[0].location);
http://crmt01/scripts/slxweb.dll/view?name=custticktabdata&tickid=t6UJ9A000SUJ&accid=A6UJ9A001CJ1&return=
So i am referencing the correct template where my js function clickTab resides
function custChangeStatus() {
var f = document.mainform;
var tickresol=document.getElementById('c_its_ticket_resolution').value;
f.action = "<#SYS name=swcpath>/action?name=custtickopenclose&id=<#F name=ctickid>&tickid=<#F name=ctickid>&typeid=gOpen";
if (document.all.custopenclose.innerText == 'Close Ticket' && tickresol=="")
{
alert("Please Enter the Ticket Resolution and Update it Before Closing the Ticket");
//Set default Focus to my tab custtickdetailsform which has ticket resolution
document.frames[0].frames[0].clickTab("custtickdetailsform","tdeftab");
}
else
{
if (document.all.custopenclose.innerText == 'Close Ticket') {
if ((requiredvalidation(document.all.mainform))==true)
{
//close the ticket and post the appropriate activity
//change Status Text to Closed By Customer
//display ticket search screen with All open group
f.custaction.value = 'close';
f.nextpage.value = 'custsearchfrmtick';
f.target = 'main_content';
f.submit();
}
}
else {
document.mainform.custaction.value = 'reopen';
f.nextpage.value = '<#SYS name=template>';
f.submit();
}
}
}

Nandu,
First, my apologies I was looking at csrticketinfo, not custticketinfo. I just made changes to custticketinfo, though, and got it to work.
I don't have a tab named "custtickdetailsform", so I can't make that the active tab. However, I used the "custtickattachmain" tab view. In the template "custticktabdata", do you have a line like this:
TabID[2] = "custtickdetailsform";
along with all the other TabXXX arrays filled out for your custom tab? The name of the tab view to call should be the one in the TabID value.
Here's the code that I used that worked. Note I put a "return;" after selecting the tab so the ticket doesn't get closed and I cut out the rest of the code. But the line with the clickTab call works, and it selects my tab.
function custChangeStatus() {
var f = document.mainform;
//debugger;
document.frames[0].frames[0].clickTab("custtickattachmain", "tdeftab");
return;
< code cut for brevity >
}
Can you get it to select an out of the box tab?

My bad!!!
Initially i screwed up the refernce to that particular dom as i started using the Top.Frame[n].* approach and couldnt call the js fn correctly.then i cloned the fn in the head tag of custticktabdata which i think changed the scope of the fn.Again couldnt reference it properly.Now i moved the funtion to the body tag and it worked!
Also finally i analysed how exactly the frames were and then i started using the doc.frame[0].*approach and used the js function from the include(the way you've posted) and it worked too!
Thanks Jeff
and BTW , we deployed Sp6 on our customer portal and since then no outages on our production box
I am anxiously waiting for 7.2 when they completely revamp the web architecture. |

Glad it's working. The web client demands patience from developers.
Beta 2 for the new version of the web client is up, if you have access to the beta. I've navigated through some of the pages but haven't done anything to customize it yet. I'm not sold on the look and feel of it yet, but I've only looked at it once, so it may grow on me.
