Adding event handler to an iframe using JQuery

Question

I want to assign a keydown event handler to an iframe. Something similar to the pure JS:

document.getElementById(\'iframe_id\').contentWindow.addEventListene         


        

Answer 1

contentWindow is the iframe's window object. You want the iframe's document instead:

$(document.getElementById('iframe_id').contentWindow.document).keydown(function() {
    // my func
});

Note that I am not sure how jQuery reacts to elements from other windows/frames.
