Putting HTML Inside an Iframe (Using JavaScript)

putting html inside an iframe (using javascript)

You can do it without jQuery also:

var iframe = document.getElementById('iframeID');
iframe = iframe.contentWindow || ( iframe.contentDocument.document || iframe.contentDocument);

iframe.document.open();
iframe.document.write('Hello World!');
iframe.document.close();

jQuery's html strips body, html and head tags from the inserted HTML.

Set content of iframe

I managed to do it with

var html_string= "content";
document.getElementById('output_iframe1').src = "data:text/html;charset=utf-8," + escape(html_string);

Insert content into iFrame

You really don't need jQuery for that:

var doc = document.getElementById('iframe').contentWindow.document;
doc.open();
doc.write('Test');
doc.close();

jsFiddle Demo

If you absolutely have to use jQuery, you should use contents():

var $iframe = $('#iframe');
$iframe.ready(function() {
    $iframe.contents().find("body").append('Test');
});

jsFiddle Demo

Please don't forget that if you're using jQuery, you'll need to hook into the DOMReady function as follows:

$(function() {  
    var $iframe = $('#iframe');
    $iframe.ready(function() {
        $iframe.contents().find("body").append('Test');
    });
});

Loading a string if HTML into an iframe using JavaScript

You can do it with

document.getElementById('iframe').src = "data:text/html;charset=utf-8," + escape(html);

See the following fiddle for an example

Creating an iframe with given HTML dynamically

Setting the src of a newly created iframe in javascript does not trigger the HTML parser until the element is inserted into the document. The HTML is then updated and the HTML parser will be invoked and process the attribute as expected.

http://jsfiddle.net/9k9Pe/2/

var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
var html = '<body>Foo</body>';
iframe.src = 'data:text/html;charset=utf-8,' + encodeURI(html);
document.body.appendChild(iframe);
console.log('iframe.contentWindow =', iframe.contentWindow);

Also this answer your question it's important to note that this approach has compatibility issues with some browsers, please see the answer of @mschr for a cross-browser solution.

How to set HTML content into an iframe

You could use:

document.getElementById('iframe1').contentWindow.document.write("<html><body>Hello world</body></html>");

Here's a jsFiddle, which works in all major browsers.

Note that instead of contentDocument.write you should use contentWindow.document.write: this makes it work in IE7 as well.

Control iframe content with javascript/html

Yes you can. Say your iframe's ID is 'myIFrame'

<iframe id="myIFrame" src="thispage.html"
    width="100%" height="600"
    frameBorder="2">
</iframe>

Then, add the following in your JavaScript:

// Get the iframe
const iFrame = document.getElementById('myIFrame');

// Let's say that you want to access a button with the ID `'myButton'`,
// you can access via the following code:
const buttonInIFrame = iFrame.contentWindow.document.getElementById('myButton');

// If you need to call a function in the iframe, you can call it as follows:
iFrame.contentWindow.yourFunction();

Hope it helps :)

Use jQuery to Insert HTML into an iFrame Body Tag

The problem is that you are trying to access a nested frame.

The #re_contentIframe frame is nested within #editorf, which is subsequently nested within your document.

Try:

$('#re_contentIframe').contents().find('body').find('#editorf').contents()
