I am trying to use Iframes in a JSP(say A.jsp) . The IFrame has its src attribute pointing to another JSP (say B.jsp) . Now the B.jsp requires the request object that A.jsp has . But if I am calling B.jsp in IFrames it does not seem to get the IFrames .
Any idea of what could be happening here ?
Any help would be appreciated . Very urgent.
Regards,
Puneet

The I-frame acts like a different page, so it is like having two windows open. You could use javascript to load the iframe after page a has been loaded, but do you want to rely on javascript?

As Eric has pointed out, the parent window and the iframe are processing separate requests. The request instance of the parent cannot be shared with the iframe child.
If you want the two 'pages' to be part of the same request, perhaps a scrollable div in the parent (as opposed to an iframe) would suffice.
Otherwise, you'll need to find a way to share the data you want from the request instance since you cannot share the request instance itself.
hth,

Thanks for the answers .
I have the requirement of using IFrames only . Any pointers of how exactly to use javascript to load the iframe after the parent window has loaded.
Thanks,
Puneet Agarwal.
