How to pick element inside iframe using document.getElementById
document.getElementById('myframe1').contentWindow.document.getElementById('x')
Fiddle
contentWindow
is supported by all browsers including the older versions of IE.
Note that if the iframe
's src
is from another domain, you won't be able to access its content due to the Same Origin Policy.
Get element from within an iFrame
var iframe = document.getElementById('iframeId');
var innerDoc = (iframe.contentDocument) ? iframe.contentDocument : iframe.contentWindow.document;
You could more simply write:
var iframe = document.getElementById('iframeId');
var innerDoc = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document;
and the first valid inner doc will be returned.
Once you get the inner doc, you can just access its internals the same way as you would access any element on your current page. (innerDoc.getElementById
...etc.)
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the iframe is on the same domain, otherwise you can't get access to its internals. That would be cross-site scripting.
How can i access to iframe inside iframe?
If you have a document containing an iframe
, and in the same document you have another iframe
as a child element of the first … then your HTML is invalid and you can't do that.
Children of iframes used to be alternative content to render if the browser didn't support iframes, but that has been phased out and iframes are no longer allowed children.
If you have an iframe
with a src
of ...
and then the document (from ...
) the is loaded into that iframe contains another iframe then document.getElementById("embedIframe")
doesn't work because embedIframe
isn't part of that document.
You need to get the iframe in the current document, then get the document belonging to that frame, and then search that document for the iframe you want.
How do I access different iframes?
The outer HTML does not have access to the IFRAME html. If you are intending to change the part of the HTML then probably iframe is not the correct solution.
However, you could pass a parameter to the iframe src which will cause the intended change.
EG.
if you have iframe whose background needs to be changed based on an action on the outer HTML:
<iframe id="example" src="https://example.com?background="></iframe>
you can change the background to blue by changing the src url with a parameter
document.getElementById('example').src = "https://example.com?background=blue";
And within the iframe site HTML you can parse the query parameter and change the background.
Select Div of Element in Iframe
Using the answer for this question
So, firstly you have to find the iframe:
var iframe = document.getElementById('one');
Then you should get the iframe contents:
var iframeDocument = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document;
And now you can use getElementById
to find DOM-elements in the iframe:
var iframeContent;
if (iframeDocument) {
iframeContent = iframeDocument.getElementById('target').innerHTML;
}
Now in the iframeContent you have the contents of span you need to show on the main page, so you can just find element where you want to display iframeContent and set the innerHTML property:
var divToShow = document.getElementById('ShowHere');
divToShow.innerHTML = iframeContent;
And that's all.
I hope my answer will help you to solve your problem.
Thanks : )
How to select a div within an iframe?
Your example:
document.getElementById('iframe').removeChild(document.getElementById('embedded_article'));
Should look something like:
var element = frames['iframe'].document.getElementById('embedded_article');
element.parentNode.removeChild(element);
window.frames['yourFrameId']
evaluates to the window
object associated with your frame. when you use document.getElementById
, you want to use the document
belonging to your frame's window
, not the document
in your main window. The rest should be self-explanitory.
