PHP link two buttons together - php

Question

I have a iFrame inside an php page.
The iFrame contains form (in asp), can I link a button outside the iFrame to the button outside?
Thanks!

Answer 1

you can use a button on main page to click a button on iframe page using jquery.
for example in main page if you have:
Main page HTML Sample:
<button id="parentbutton">click me</button>
<iframe name='select_frame' src='http://www.barzegari.com/DEAFULT.ASP'></iframe>
JQUERY in main page:
$("#parentbutton").click(function(){
$('input:button[name=save]').click(function() {
$('iframe[name=select_frame]').contents().find('#mybuttonid').click();
});
});
in iframe html:
you have a button with id(clientid) like "mybuttonid";

Answer 2

this is prevent by cross domain privacy, but you can do it by this way,
in your php page, use file_get_contents to get asp content, filter get form script and paste to php page, by this way, you can do everything as you want :)

Answer 3

Accessing iframe content from other URL will give you the error Refused to display 'YOUR_URL' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'. This is because, all the server restricts the access of iframe content from third party website for security purpose. If you are not getting the above error, try the below code in your PHP file.
$("#phpbutton").click(function(){
var iframe = $('#aspiframe').contents();
iframe.find("#aspbutton").click();
});
<iframe id='aspiframe' src='YOUR_ASP_URL'></iframe>
<input type="button" id="phpbutton">click here</button>
Note : Make sure you have replaced with correct IDs.
