I've taken over the developement of an application and it's doing something I've never seen before. It somehow
communicates with a running application (written in .NET). Here's teh javascript line that does it:

document.getElementById("MyIFrame").src="dalert:preview?guid=3fafba12-7550-468d-9f93-2f32136fc5b9";


I've never seen this before, what does it do? How does the browser know what to do with it? It's not working so I need
to figure out how to fix it.


Thanks

its a pretty standard trick. use an IFRame (or hidden frame) to make async
calls to the backend. you will have to look at dalert:preview to see what it
does. usually it will generate javascript that comunicates with the base
frame.
