Replace Entire Content of Iframe

Question

Is there a way to replace the ENTIRE contents of an iframe using Javascript (or Jquery)?

For example if my iframe had the following content...

blah o

I'm guessing that you're not having problems with cross-site scripting in this instance... Have you had any luck using contentWindow? Something like this seems to work well enough for me:

iframe = document.getElementById('iframe_id');
iframe.contentWindow.document.open()
iframe.contentWindow.document.write(new_content_here);

Not my idea, found it here: Write elements into a child iframe using Javascript or jQuery
