Question

How do you post data to an iframe?

Answer 1

This function creates a temporary form, then send data using jQuery :

function postToIframe(data,url,target){
    $('body').append('
');
    $.each(data,function(n,v){
        $('#postToIframe').append('');
    });
    $('#postToIframe').submit().remove();
}

target is the 'name' attr of the target iFrame, and data is a JS object :

data={last_name:'Smith',first_name:'John'}
