I'm creating a quickview functionality, where you can see the contents of each item in a product listing directly in a modal that will open.

In the modal there is a frame that is generated dynamically with javascript, and I place the url of my controller that renders the modal content (url like this http://localhost/quickview/product/view/id/18564/).

When the modal is closed, I delete the modal content, and when the user wants to see the content of another product on the same page, I re-generate an iframe element with javascript and display.

The problem is that after the first modal view, the iframe loads and displays the content again but the javascript that runs in the iframe (we have an image gallery in the product content) does not work. Soon after the second attempt in front of the gallery and all other behaviors with javascript do not work, although modal, iframe and content coming from the controller are correct.

I already tried to reload the same iframe (without destroying it) and display it again, I tried to create the iframe with id different to each modal view, but I could not solve it once. Below the javascript I use to generate the modal and the iframe. The controller I do not believe is relevant (whenever I open the url of the content in a new tab everything works perfectly, as well as being independent of the product every time I open the modal first, everything loads correctly in the modal).

var ProductInfo = Class.create();

ProductInfo.prototype = {

    settings: {

        'loadingMessage': 'aguarde ...',

        'viewport': document.viewport.getDimensions()

        Object.extend(this.settings, settings);

        this.createWindow();



        var that = this;

        $$(selector).each(function(el, index){

            el.observe('click', that.loadInfo.bind(that));

        })

        var contentLoader = new Element('p', {class: 'loader'});



        contentLoader.setStyle({

            'display': 'block',

            'margin-top': (this.settings.viewport.height/2 - contentLoader.getHeight()/2)+'px',

            'text-align': 'center'

I believe it is not relevant, but the application is Magento 1.9.3.9, so I'm using prototype as js framework (native from Magento).

A curious fact, if I update the frame through the browser using the right button and requesting the "Refresh Frame" with mouse, the iframe is updated correctly and the content javascript loads correctly.

UPDATE:

By performing some tests, I noticed that the first time the iframe is loaded, the width of the iframe is detected in js inside iframe. But in the other times that it is created and inserted, the width is detected as zero. Below the tests:

//First open

console.log(document.documentElement.clientWidth);

//output: 1356



//Second open

console.log(document.documentElement.clientWidth);

//output: 0

OwlCarousel2 do a throw (more details in https://github.com/OwlCarousel2/OwlCarousel2/issues/1704), and I think de JS stop with the exception.

Owl.prototype.viewport = function() {

    var width;

    if (this.options.responsiveBaseElement !== window) {

        width = $(this.options.responsiveBaseElement).width();

    } else if (window.innerWidth) {

        width = window.innerWidth;

    } else if (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.clientWidth) {

        width = document.documentElement.clientWidth;

    } else {

        throw 'Can not detect viewport width.';

    }

    return width;

};

Even though I change OwlCarousel2 (the latest version doesn't has a throw), I believe that the fact that the width is being detected incorrectly will generate several other problems.
I also updated the iframe by always creating it 100% wide, but the problem still persists.

It is a jQuery cache issue. You should send headers from your server in order to not cache the iframe in the client:

Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate

Pragma: no-cache

Expires: 0

You can also force a iframe refresh by using:

iframe.contentWindow.location.reload(true);

Update

var nameOrIndex = 'nameOrIndex'; // i.e. 'my_iframe' or '0'

var iFrame = window.frames[nameOrIndex];

if (iFrame) {

    var document = iFrame.contentDocument ? iFrame.contentDocument : iFrame.contentWindow ? iFrame.contentWindow.document : iFrame.document;

    if (document && document.location) {

        document.location.reload(true); // 1 (sandboxing, same domain origin policy)

        document.location.href = document.location.href; // 2 (cross domain, might detect size changes)

    }

    if (iFrame.src) {

        window.frames[nameOrIndex].src = iFrame.src; // 3 (cross domain, might detect size changes)

    }

    $(iFrame).replaceWith($(iFrame).clone()); // 4 (cross domain, might detect size changes)

}
