I\'m trying to figure out the best way to access an element\'s
window
and document
properties from a parent page. The <
all of the modern browsers except Chrome support both iframereference.contentWindow
and iframereference.contentDocument
, but only if the page opened in the iframe is on the same domain as the page containing the iframe.
To include Chrome, use var iwin=iframereference.contentWindow,
idoc=iwin.document;
.contentDocument
is the window.document
of the page in the iframe,
as is contentWindow.document
, but not .contentDocument.document
.
Chrome may include support for .contentDocument
in some future version- I hope so, because it is also the way all the other browsers find the document contained in an Object element, type text/html
, where the data attribute is the url of an html page.
