This plugin provides support for
Cross Frame coolTips, whether they are STICKY or not. In
effect, the routines in this plugin take care of ensuring
that the containing element is either defined
in the frame where the coolTip will appear or will create
it if it doesn't exist and defining the popup variable fnRef so that it points to the correct frame
where the source module code is located and makes sure
that when the "Close" link is moused over or
clicked that the coolTip closes without error, in the case
of a STICKY coolTip.
To include this support module just include the following
statements in the HEAD section of your document:
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="cCore.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="cCrossframe.js"> </SCRIPT>
You only have to make sure that the cCrossframe.js module
is loaded after the core module.
Download this
module as a zip file.
The parameter to the FRAME command
is a window object. Frame referencing can become quite complex
if one is not used to working with frames. In order to make it
easier to reference specific frames, give your frames a name attribute.
Then they can be referred to using window.frames[frameName],
where frameName is the value of the name
attribute for the frame. Even if no name attributes are specified,
a frame within a collection can still be referenced using subscript
notation. The index begins with zero and increases upward in the
order that they frames are loaded. If a frame document defines
a frameset then it indicates a nesting of frames and the indexing
level must increase, once for each nesting level.
This example illustrates,
in a separate window, a document that contains three levels of
nesting, as indicated by the Frame names shown in the upper left
hand corner of each frame. The names are given here using the Frame
collection and subscript notation. Note it becomes more difficult
to specify the proper FRAME parameter value as the nesting level
increases.
