Specifying content of an iframe instead of the src attribute to a page
I'm currently working on a form which includes some file inputs to upload pictures. There is an onchange()
event for those inputs that submits the pictures to an iframe
, 开发者_运维问答then dynamically loads the uploaded pictures into the form, with fields to be modified for them (like name and geo-localization).
Since I can't nest forms, the file_input
is also contained in an iframe
. In the end I use an iframe
inside of another iframe
. So I have something like this:
<form>
<!-- LOTS OF FIELDS!! -->
<iframe src="file_input_url">
<!-- iframe which loads a page of a form with a file input-->
</iframe>
</form>
and the HTML loaded into the iframe
is something like (excluding the html
, head
and body
tags)
<form target="upload_iframe">
<input type="file" onchange="this.form.submit()">
</form>
<iframe name="upload_iframe"></iframe>
This works great, except for the fact that it takes a couple seconds to load the first iframe
, so the file input does not load with the rest of the page. This is not visually ideal. I could solve it if I could specify the iframe
content without needing to load another page (specified by file_input_url
in the first iframe
).
Is there a way to specify the iframe
content in the same document, or can it only be specified with the src
attribute, requiring the load of another page?
You can .write()
the content into the iframe document. Example:
<iframe id="FileFrame" src="about:blank"></iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">
var doc = document.getElementById('FileFrame').contentWindow.document;
doc.open();
doc.write('<html><head><title></title></head><body>Hello world.</body></html>');
doc.close();
</script>
iframe now supports srcdoc which can be used to specify the HTML content of the page to show in the inline frame.
You can use data:
URL in the src
:
var html = 'Hello from <img src="http://stackoverflow.com/favicon.ico" alt="SO">';
var iframe = document.querySelector('iframe');
iframe.src = 'data:text/html,' + encodeURIComponent(html);
<iframe></iframe>
Difference between srcdoc=“…” and src=“data:text/html,…” in an iframe.
Convert HTML to data:text/html link using JavaScript.
In combination with what Guffa described, you could use the technique described in
Explanation of <script type = "text/template"> ... </script> to store the HTML document in a special script
element (see the link for an explanation on how this works). That's a lot easier than storing the HTML document in a string.
