In Javascript, how do I transfer data from a text/html typed object to its parent

Question

I have an

<object id="objPage" data="source.html" type="text/html"><object>

containing an HTML page, on the same domain. I am trying to send a String through Javascript from source.html to its parent, which is an aspx page. I need the child to be able to send that information. Any idea?

So basically it's:

[ASPX] [OBJECT] This sends data to the ASPX [/OBJECT] This receives data from the object[/ASPX]

Answer 1

the question isn't very clear - from what i understand you are trying to send data from JavaScript to the aspx page.

i would do this using AJAX. a simple way to do this is to use a JavaScript library such as jQuery. look here for an example of using AJAX in jQuery

Without any libraries, look at XmlHttpRequest.

With something like ExtJs or similar library, You can make an Ajax.Request.
