    Pass URL variable to iframe

    I am passing an URL variable from one Umbraco page to another.  I need to then pass that optional URL variable to an iframe in the target Umbraco page.  The iframe is inside a macro that contains an XSLT snippet.  How can I pass the URL variable to the macro?

    Hi Connie

    Would it be possible to add a macro parameter where the url could be stored and then fetched in the XSLT snippet?

    We're thinking the same, I'm just not sure how to fetch the variable in the XSLT.  It would have to get the variable of the parent/container page.

    Could this work?

    <Iframe src="displayframe.asp?<%= request.querystring%>"></iframe>

    Inside XSLT? No...then it would need to look like this...

    <iframe src="displayframe.asp?parameter={umbraco.library:Request('querystring')}"></iframe>

    But if you store the value in a macro parameter you should be able to fetch it by declaring a parameter like this

    <xsl:param name="iframeParameter" select="/macro/YourParameterAlias" /> where "YourParameterAlias" is the alias you have speficied on the macro parameter.

    Oh, I'm thinking about this wrong.  The macro and XSLT are actually running as part of the Umbraco page, so would have access to the querystring.

     

    <xsl:param name="qryString" select="umbraco.library:RequestServerVariables('QUERY_STRING')" />
    <iframe src="{$iframeSource}?{$qryString}" name="{$iframeName}_iframe"></iframe>
