Cannot modify content of iframe, what is wrong?
Please don't forget the cross-domain
policy, otherwise it won't work.
Live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/oscarj24/wTWjF/
(Just to know, I am not using a 404 page, take a look)
Try this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#ifr').ready(function(){
$(this).contents().find('body').html('Hey, I have changed the body content yay!');
});
});
Assuming you are honoring the cross-domain policy, this sounds like a timing issue. Chances are your iframe has already finished loading when the document.ready
of the parent page fires.
You could try changing your frame.load
to frame.ready
as .ready
will fire immediately if it is bound after the ready event has already triggered.
