Using yui in an iframe

Can I use YUI on an iframe?
If I have an iframe which loads content through a page call against the same server, I would expect to be able to call node functions on its content but that doesn't seem to work.

You can, but the best way to do it is to wrap the iframe with it's own YUI instance. Something like this:

I've been meaning to write a post on this for some time based on a working example. Ah well, best of intentions.

Please ignore some of the lazy coding including lack of use of Y.sub() for the template.

One nut I haven't been able to crack is firing the print call from the parent window. The only way I seem to be able to get this feature to perform reliably is to embed the call to window.print() in the child frame.

Anyhow, hope this example is useful to someone. I'll get round to writing that post eventually.

Hey Eric,

Sounds good. I have contributed a post already and would love to do another.

Please write that article! This is a very cool feature of YUI that has very nice possibilities - esp with regards to embedding other content into your site.

@triptych Would you be interested in doing a joint effort. Could tie in nicely with your new series.

Mark,
The working copy link isn't working.

Did you two work out something and if so, where?
Thanks!
