Call parent Javascript function from inside an iframe
I have a iframe (in my domain), that iframe has a file iframe.js . My parent document has a file parent.js . I need to call a function that is in parent.js , from a function that is in iframe.js . I tried doing window.parent.myfunction() this function is in the parent.js file. But, it didn't work. Only when I put the function on the parent page (I mean in the HTML), then it worked. Any idea how to get this to work? Try just parent.myfunction() . Also be 100% sure that the parent.js is included in your parent document. I know this is an old question, but in case the accepted answer doesn't work
