I have a Javascript function that is passed a string. The string that it is passed is an entire webpage, including the header. I need the Javascript to replace the entire current page, head and all with the new content.
Consider the following HTML file:
<html>
<head>
<script language="Javascript">
<!--
var newContent='<html><head><script language="Javascript">function Hi() {alert("Goodbye World");}</script></head><body onload="Hi();">New Content</body></html>';
function ReplaceContent(NC) {
document.body.innerHTML=NC;
}
function Hi() {
alert("Hello World");
ReplaceContent(newContent);
}
-->
</script>
</head>
<body onload="Hi();">
Original Content
</body>
</html>
In this case, the passed string is:
<html><head><script language="Javascript">function Hi() {alert("Goodbye World");}</script></head><body onload="Hi();">New Content</body></html>
But of course, since the "ReplaceContent" function is only replacing the body, but not the header, I never get the "Goodbye World" alert.
Ignoring "why I would want to do this", How can I dynamically replace the entire page, including the header, and javascript functions?
Please remember the "source" html ('newContent' above) exists only as a string, it does not exist on a server anywhere, so I cannot just redirect to it.
What changes I make to "ReplaceContent" above to cause the "Goodbye World" alert to appear once the content is replaced? Please keep in mind I cannot know in advance the value of the newContent variable!!
