Remote Scripting - Moving Object Level Data Across Frames

for Netscape 6+

Unlike IE, Netscape 6+ will let you move data across frames at the object level. Below is iframe name="myIframe". Its source document contains a div id="copy". Clicking on the link in the iframe will trigger the function cloneIt(). The function is in the iframe page:

<script>
 // - this is the script from the iframe page

function cloneIt() {

 var x=document.getElementById('copy').cloneNode(true);
  
  try {
  parent.document.getElementById('destination').appendChild(x);
  }

  catch (e){
  document.getElementById('errorBox').innerHTML=e;
  }

}
</script>
