[mapguide-users] OnSelectionChanged in AJAX viewer?

You must safeguard against timing problems.
It is very likely that your frame will load completely before the iframe 
does.
In that case, you cannot get the OnSelectionChanged method reference.
You can add an "onload" to the iframe, but it is still possible that it 
will break, because the internal frames do not load in the expected order.
A simple fix is to wrap your "InitDocument" with a timer.

Also, using the "frames[0].frames[1]" is relying on the order of your 
page, and the order of the viewer frames.
A more reliable method, is to use the ID if the frame element, and then 
use the built-in method GetMapFrame().

I have applied the above to your example:

<!-- Javascript part -->
<script type="text/javascript">
    var mapFrame = null;   // A reference to the map frame
    var originalMapFrameOnSelectionChanged = null // storage for the 
original onSelectionChanged function
    function OnSelectionChanged() // when something is selected on the map
    {
        alert('Your handler works perfectly');
        originalMapFrameOnSelectionChanged();
    }
  
    function InitDocument()
    {
        var win = document.getElementById('viewerFrame');
        if (win.contentWindow) //FF returns the actual tag, IE returns 
the iframe
          win = win.contentWindow;
        mapFrameRef = win.GetMapFrame();
originalMapFrameOnSelectionChanged = mapFrameRef.parent.OnSelectionChanged;
        mapFrameRef.parent.OnSelectionChanged = 
OnSelectionChanged;             
    }  

    function RetryInit()
    {
        if (mapFrame != null)
            return;
           
        try
        {
            InitDocument();
        }
        catch (e)
        {
            mapFrame = null;
        }
       
        if (mapFrame == null)
            window.setTimeout("RetryInit();", 500);
    }
</script>

<!-- HTML part -->
<html>
<body>
    <iframe id="viewerFrame" frameborder="yes" width="100%" height="60%" 
src=" 
src="../mapviewernet/dwfviewer.aspx?SESSION=<%=sessionId%>&WEBLAYOUT=<%=webLayout%>"" 
onload="RetryInit()"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
