How to get focus back for parent window from an iframe programmatically in Javascript
15,182
Got the answer, now it works on all browsers
<script>
window.onload = function() {
// blur the iframe
document.getElementById("bing").blur();
// set focus on #foo
document.getElementById("foo").focus();
// when iframe tries to focus, focus #foo
document.getElementById("foo").onblur = function() {
this.focus();
};
};
</script>
<input id="foo" type="text" value="foo" /><br />
<iframe id="bing" width="800" height="500" src="http://wwww.bing.com" />

Some websites have
focus
set on an element on window load. If I iframe that website, It seems not able to set focus on parent window, programmatically. This only happens toIE
(9) andFirefox
(19), Opera/Safari/Chrome are fine.<script> window.onload = function() { setTimeout(function() { // this does not focus #foo document.getElementById("foo").focus(); // or more seconds that enough to see the iframe focus }, 3000); }; </script> <input id="foo" type="text" value="foo" /><br /> <iframe width="800" height="500" src="http://www.bing.com" />
Does anyone know a workaround for this problem?
