Question
Set variable in parent window from iframe
I have a parent document with an embedded iframe. Inside the iframe I have an upload field. Once the user selects a file to upload, I trigger a jQuery change event. On that event I want to set a variable in the parent window to true, so that the parent knows that the upload has started.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Was trying this, but didn't work:
var test;
$("#newsletter_email").change(function() {
parent.window.test = true;
});
$('#send').click(function() {
if (test) {
alert('File has been uploaded!');
} else {
alert('You need to upload a file');
}
});
