jquery/javascript: accessing contents of an iframe
- by rz
I would like to manipulate the html inside an iframe using jquery.
I thought I'd be able to do this by setting the context of the jQuery function to be the document of the iframe, something like:
$(function(){//document ready
$('some selector', frames['nameOfMyIframe'].document).doStuff()
});
However this doesn't seem to work. A bit of inspection shows me that the variables in frames['nameOfMyIframe'] are undefined unless I wait a while for the iframe to load. However, when the iframe loads the variables are unaccessible (I get permission denied type errors).
Does anyone know of way to work around this?
