Get HTML inside iframe using jQuery

Question

Here is my situation.

I have a file called iframe.html, which contains the code to for a image slideshow. The code is somewhat like

<         


        

Answer 1

this works for me because it works fine in ie8.

$('#iframe').contents().find("html").html();

but if you like to use javascript aside for jquery you may use like this

var iframe = document.getElementById('iframecontent');
var innerDoc = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document;
var val_1 = innerDoc.getElementById('value_1').value;
