How to access javascript variable on another page?

JavaScript
1

For example I have a javascript on one of my pages (page.html) that writes out as given below.
Is there any way I can access the variable “gotoURL” in the “content.html” from the Javascript block in the “page.html” and change it’s value ?

HTML Page 1 (page.html)

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=“JavaScript”>
document.write (“<IFRAME src=‘/content.html’ WIDTH=‘468’ HEIGHT=‘60’>”);
doucment.write (“</IFRAME>”);
</SCRIPT>

HTML Page 2 (content.html)

<html>
<head>
<title>Banner</title>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=“JavaScript”>
var gotoUrl = “http://www.mydomain.com”;
</SCRIPT>

<script>
function linkUrl()
{
var homewindow = window.open(gotoUrl);
}
</script>

</head>

<body>
<a href=“javascript:linkUrl()”>
<img src=“/images/468x60.gif” name=“banner” border=“0”>
</a>
</body>
</html>

Hi ipromote,

You could try something like this:

<iframe…src=“/content.html?go2Url=” + newURL width=…>

and in your content page, use location.search & split to parse out the newURL

I can’t touch the content.html, but still I want to overide the variable gotoURL from the page that embed the content.html through the IFRAME tag

Any other suggestions ?

RE:

I can’t touch the content.html,

Why not? And please be specific.

I don’t have access to the content.html, that’s the reason, I would like to change the variable depending on different situations.
