I have a form inside an iframe which is inside a jQuery UI dialog box. The form contains a file
input type. The jQuery UI dialog contains an Upload button. When this button is clicked, I would like to programmatically call the submit method. My question is how I could select the form which is in a iframe using jQuery. The following code should clarify the picture:
<div id="upload_file_picker_dlg" title="Upload file">
<iframe id="upload_file_iframe" src="/frame_src_url" frameborder=0 width=100% scrolling=no></iframe>
</div>
frame_src_url contains:
<form action="/UploadTaxTable" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" id="upload-form">
<p>Select a file to be uploaded:</p>
<p>
<input type="file" name="datafile" size="60">
</p>
The jQueryUI dialog box javascript code:
$('#upload_file_picker_dlg').dialog({
...
buttons: {
'Close': function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
},
'Upload': function() {
$('#upload-form').submit(); //question is related to this line
$(this).dialog('close');
}
},
....
});
From the javascript code snippet above, how can I select the form with id upload-form that is in the iframe whose id is upload_file_iframe ?
