simple javascript question

document.getElementById("myFrame").setAttribute("src") = "http://www.yahoo.com/";

myFrame is an iframe element... when entering this into the chrome developer console, it gives me the error "Invalid left-hand side in assignment" I am trying to update the iframe. Is there a method I am forgetting?

Try this...

document.getElementById("myFrame").setAttribute("src","http://www.yahoo.com/");

You can't assign an function call to something, try this instead:

document.getElementById("myFrame").setAttribute("src", http://www.yahoo.com/");

You don't really need setAttribute when setting the src property:

document.getElementById('myFrame').src = 'http://www.yahoo.com/';

Here, I fixed it 

document.getElementById("myFrame").setAttribute("src", "http://www.yahoo.com/");

setAttribute takes two arguments:

document.getElementById("myFrame").setAttribute("src", "http://www.yahoo.com/");

You are trying to set the DOM object to the string "http://www.yahoo.com/" ... which is invalid.
