so I would like to know how you would add a target in this example "google-iframe" into the source link of the iframe.
Here is the current code I have:
<!-- CSS -->
<style>
body {
color: purple;
background-color: #663300 }
</style>
<form target="google-iframe">
<input id="search" type="text"/>
<input type="image" onclick="google-iframe" src="Searchbutton.png" alt="Search Button" height="20" width="20">
<iframe id="google-iframe" src="http://www.google.com/custom?q=" width="250" height="600" onmouseover="width=400" onmouseout="width=250" onclick="window.location='http://www.google.com/custom?q=Test&btnG=Search'"></iframe>
</form>
I would like to have it be like this:
<iframe id="google-iframe" src="http://www.google.com/custom?q=" + "google-iframe" width="250" height="600" onmouseover="width=400" onmouseout="width=250" onclick="window.location='http://www.google.com/custom?q=Test&btnG=Search'"></iframe>
the change was that were it says
src=http://www.google.com/custome?q=
what ever is defined as "google-iframe" would be inserted at the end of the src for like this for example
src=http://www.google.com/custome?q=WhatEverIsEntedInTheGoogle-Iframe
name
attribute for targeting to an iframe
and not the id
form
to be the url that will be loaded in the iframe
name
again) the input element with the keywords as q
as that is what google expects.So something like this
<form action="http://www.google.com/custom" target="google-iframe" method="get">
<input name="q" type="text" />
<input type="image" onclick="google-iframe" src="Searchbutton.png" alt="Search Button" height="20" width="20"/>
</form>
<iframe name="google-iframe" src="http://www.google.com/custom" width="250" height="600" onmouseover="width=400" onmouseout="width=250" onclick="window.location='http://www.google.com/custom?q=Test&btnG=Search'"></iframe>

Update after comments
to account for multiple iframes
with different rules for the submitting url
Html
<form onsubmit="return virtualSubmit(this)";>
<input name="searchtext" type="text" />
<input type="image" src="Searchbutton.png" alt="Search Button" height="20" width="20"/>
</form>
<iframe src="http://www.google.com/custom"
data-url="http://www.google.com/custom?q="
width="250"
height="600"></iframe>
<iframe src="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki"
data-url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/"
width="250"
height="600"></iframe>
and javascript
function virtualSubmit(form){
var text = form.searchtext.value;
var targets = document.getElementsByTagName('iframe'),
items = targets.length;
for(var i = 0; i<items; i++){
var target = targets[i],
url = target.getAttribute('data-url');
target.src = url + text;
}
return false;
}
