I have a master page PageA.aspx that contains an iframe which contains pageB.aspx which is also derived from a master page.

i am trying to get it to submit pageB.aspx page within the iframe with javascript when on the "onclientclick" of the save button on PageA.aspx, but i cannot get to "form1" on pageB.aspx because it is inheriting from its master and does not have any forms directly on it.

any ideas on how i would go about this?

thanks in advance....

What's your masterpage means here? Is it a aspx page with a iframe html control? or is it a asp.net standard master page?

its an aspx page that has a master page. it then has an iframe with another aspx page that also uses a master - if that makes sense?

Thanks! What do you want to wirte in the "OnClientClick" event of the save button? Thanks!

document.getElementById('" & iframe.ClientID & "').parent.form.submit;return false

which is trying to call the submit of the iframes parent which is a master page....

 Try to use the following example code

OnClientClick='document.frames["iframe1"].document.forms[0].submit(); return false;'

You can get the reference to the form id of page B, whose form seems is placed in the its masterpage. But the <form> tag contains runat="server". When it contains runat="server" then if you add the action="XXX.aspx" will not work at run time. In a short, you should find the form's action attribute is the current page at runtime( looking at source file from client).
