How can I access iframe elements with Javascript?
Using jQuery you can use contents()
. For example:
var inside = $('#one').contents();
If you have the HTML
<form name="formname" .... id="form-first">
<iframe id="one" src="iframe2.html">
</iframe>
</form>
and JavaScript
function iframeRef( frameRef ) {
return frameRef.contentWindow
? frameRef.contentWindow.document
: frameRef.contentDocument
}
var inside = iframeRef( document.getElementById('one') )
inside
is now a reference to the document, so you can do getElementsByTagName('textarea')
and whatever you like, depending on what's inside the iframe src.
