I'm using postMessage to push the parent page css to the page within each iframe. The issue is that there may be more than 1 iframe already on the page before this code is applied. Therefore, how can I apply the postMessage specifically to the id of each frame, instead of having to manually enter window.frames[0] and window.frames[1], where [] is adjusted based on the page.
iframe
<iframe id="frame1" style="width: 100%; height: 420px;" src="../syndicatedPlayer.html#videoUrl=http://video.mp4?" frameborder="0"></iframe>
<iframe id="frame2" style="width: 100%; height: 420px;" src="../syndicatedPlayer.html#videoUrl=http://video.mp4?" frameborder="0"></iframe>
postMessage()
<script type="text/javascript">
var getFontFamily = function() {
var el = document.getElementsByTagName("h1")[0];
var cs = window.getComputedStyle(el, null);
return cs.fontFamily;
}
window.addEventListener('load', function(){
var data = getFontFamily("h1");
window.frames[0].postMessage(data, 'http://url.html');
window.frames[1].postMessage(data, 'http://url.html');
console.log('Message sent -->');
});
</script>
Actually, window===window.frames, so you can just use window[0] to obtain the frame.
Said that, a way to obtain an iframe by its id is the following function:
function getFrameById(id) {
for (var i=0;i<window.length;i++) {
if (window[i].frameElement.id===id) return window[i];
}
return null;
}
Update: I've fixed and completed you fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/9qtcmbnn/4/
you can specify which iframe you will use by selecting it by id and then postmessage the data you want from it
you can use it as below
<script>
function test1() {
document.getElementById('idMyIframe1').contentWindow.postMessage("your message here", "*");
}
function test2() {
document.getElementById('idMyIframe2').contentWindow.postMessage("your message here", "*");
}
</script>
<iframe id="idMyIframe1" onload="test1()" src="http://example.otherdomaintosenddatato.com"></iframe>
<iframe id="idMyIframe2" onload="test2()" src="http://example.otherdomaintosenddatato.com"></iframe>

Hope people can help - been using 'Stack Over Flow' for reference for many years now, but this is the first time I'm stuck on some coding. Below is the iFrame, what I would like to happen is when the submit button on the form has been clicked is for it to disappear, but instead the iFrame is still there and within the iFrame it goes to 'How can we help you today?'
Also, when the iFrame disappears a line of text should appear.
<script type="text/javascript">
function removeIFrame() {
var frame = document.getElementById("myIframe");
frame.parentNode.removeChild(frame);
}
</script>
<div style="overflow: hidden;position: relative;height: 970px; width:150%;" onclick="removeIFrame();">
<iframe id="myIframe" src="https://sheersense.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new" scrolling="no" width="100%" height="1125px" frameborder="0" style="position: absolute; top:-150px"></iframe>
<div id="text_display" style="">Thank you for your ticket, a member of the Sheersense team will be in touch with you shortly.</div>
</div>
Many thanks for the help!
You can find the possible answer in this post-
https://stackoverflow.com/a/3690896/8438534
As mentioned in that answer, if the click is in the iframe area, the iframe context handles the click event, it does not bubble up to the iframe parent. So the div will never register the click event at all if it happened in the iframe area.
try this
function removeIFrame() {
var frame = document.getElementById("myIframe");
frame.remove();
}
window.onload = function() {
var frame = window.myIframe;
var innerDocument = (frame.contentWindow || frame.contentDocument);
if (innerDocument.document) innerDocument = innerDocument.document;
innerDocument.onclick =function() {
removeIFrame();
}
}
I would like to manipulate the HTML inside an iframe using jQuery.
I thought I'd be able to do this by setting the context of the jQuery function to be the document of the iframe, something like:
$(function(){ //document ready
$('some selector', frames['nameOfMyIframe'].document).doStuff()
});
However this doesn't seem to work. A bit of inspection shows me that the variables in frames['nameOfMyIframe'] are undefined unless I wait a while for the iframe to load. However, when the iframe loads the variables are not accessible (I get permission denied-type errors).
Does anyone know of a work-around to this?
If the <iframe> is from the same domain, the elements are easily accessible as
$("#iFrame").contents().find("#someDiv").removeClass("hidden");
Reference
I think what you are doing is subject to the same origin policy. This should be the reason why you are getting permission denied type errors.
You could use .contents() method of jQuery.
The .contents() method can also be used to get the content document of an iframe, if the iframe is on the same domain as the main page.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#frameID').load(function(){
$('#frameID').contents().find('body').html('Hey, i`ve changed content of <body>! Yay!!!');
});
});
If the iframe src is from another domain you can still do it. You need to read the external page into PHP and echo it from your domain. Like this:
iframe_page.php
<?php
$URL = "http://external.com";
$domain = file_get_contents($URL);
echo $domain;
?>
Then something like this:
display_page.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
cleanit = setInterval ( "cleaning()", 500 );
});
function cleaning(){
if($('#frametest').contents().find('.selector').html() == "somthing"){
clearInterval(cleanit);
$('#selector').contents().find('.Link').html('ideate tech');
}
}
</script>
<body>
<iframe name="frametest" id="frametest" src="http://yourdomain.com/iframe_page.php" ></iframe>
</body>
</html>
The above is an example of how to edit an external page through an iframe without the access denied etc...
Use
iframe.contentWindow.document
instead of
iframe.contentDocument
I find this way cleaner:
var $iframe = $("#iframeID").contents();
$iframe.find('selector');
You need to attach an event to an iframe's onload handler, and execute the js in there, so that you make sure the iframe has finished loading before accessing it.
$().ready(function () {
$("#iframeID").ready(function () { //The function below executes once the iframe has finished loading
$('some selector', frames['nameOfMyIframe'].document).doStuff();
});
};
The above will solve the 'not-yet-loaded' problem, but as regards the permissions, if you are loading a page in the iframe that is from a different domain, you won't be able to access it due to security restrictions.
You can use window.postMessage to call a function between page and his iframe (cross domain or not).

I prefer to use other variant for accessing.
From parent you can have a access to variable in child iframe.
$ is a variable too and you can receive access to its just call
window.iframe_id.$
For example, window.view.$('div').hide() - hide all divs in iframe with id 'view'
But, it doesn't work in FF. For better compatibility you should use
$('#iframe_id')[0].contentWindow.$
Have you tried the classic, waiting for the load to complete using jQuery's builtin ready function?
$(document).ready(function() {
$('some selector', frames['nameOfMyIframe'].document).doStuff()
} );

I create a sample code . Now you can easily understand from different domain you can't access
content of iframe .. Same domain we can access iframe content
I share you my code , Please run this code
check the console . I print image src at console. There are four iframe , two iframe coming from same domain & other two from other domain(third party) .You can see two image src( https://www.google.com/logos/doodles/2015/googles-new-logo-5078286822539264.3-hp2x.gif

at console and also can see two permission error(

) which is coming from third party iframe.

If the code below doesn't work
$("#iFrame").contents().find("#someDiv").removeClass("hidden");
Here is the reliable way to make it work:
$(document).ready(function(){
setTimeout(
function () {
$("#iFrame").contents().find("#someDiv").removeClass("hidden");
},
300
);
});
This way the script will run after 300 miliseconds, so it'll get enough time for iFrame to be loaded and then the code will come into action. At times the iFrame doesn't load and script tries to execute before it. 300ms can be tweaked to anything else as per your needs.
For even more robustness:
function getIframeWindow(iframe_object) {
var doc;
if (iframe_object.contentWindow) {
return iframe_object.contentWindow;
}
if (iframe_object.window) {
return iframe_object.window;
}
if (!doc && iframe_object.contentDocument) {
doc = iframe_object.contentDocument;
}
if (!doc && iframe_object.document) {
doc = iframe_object.document;
}
if (doc && doc.defaultView) {
return doc.defaultView;
}
if (doc && doc.parentWindow) {
return doc.parentWindow;
}
return undefined;
}
and
...
var frame_win = getIframeWindow( frames['nameOfMyIframe'] );
if (frame_win) {
$(frame_win.contentDocument || frame_win.document).find('some selector').doStuff();
...
}
...
I ended up here looking for getting the content of an iframe without jquery, so for anyone else looking for that, it is just this:
document.querySelector('iframe[name=iframename]').contentDocument
This solution works same as iFrame. I have created a PHP script that can get all the contents from the other website, and most important part is you can easily apply your custom jQuery to that external content. Please refer to the following script that can get all the contents from the other website and then you can apply your cusom jQuery/JS as well. This content can be used anywhere, inside any element or any page.
<div id='myframe'>
<?php
/*
Use below function to display final HTML inside this div
*/
//Display Frame
echo displayFrame();
?>
</div>
<?php
/*
Function to display frame from another domain
*/
function displayFrame()
{
$webUrl = 'http://[external-web-domain.com]/';
//Get HTML from the URL
$content = file_get_contents($webUrl);
//Add custom JS to returned HTML content
$customJS = "
<script>
/* Here I am writing a sample jQuery to hide the navigation menu
You can write your own jQuery for this content
*/
//Hide Navigation bar
jQuery(\".navbar.navbar-default\").hide();
</script>";
//Append Custom JS with HTML
$html = $content . $customJS;
//Return customized HTML
return $html;
}

if (frames[i].name.match(/test2/g)) {
iframes[i].attr('src', 'http://testing2.com/');

}
};

would anyone help me to fix the code to make it valid?
I'm answering also if this already got an answer. This was it, vanilla js:
var selection = document.getElementsByTagName('iframe');
var iframes = Array.prototype.slice.call(selection);
iframes.forEach(function(iframe) {
if (iframe.name.match(/test1/g)) {
iframe.setAttribute("src", "http://testing1.com/");
} else if (iframe.name.match(/test2/g)) {
iframe.setAttribute("src", "http://testing2.com/");
} else if (iframe.name.match(/test3/g)) {
iframe.setAttribute("src", "http://testing3.com/");
}
});
JSFiddle here.
Well, the function is getElementsByTagName (in plural). You're also mixing jQuery functions with native DOM elements, which won't work. But since you're using jQuery anyway, you might as well use it for all of the code:
<script>
$('iframe[name="test1"]').attr('src', 'testing1.com')
$('iframe[name="test2"]').attr('src', 'testing2.com')
</script>
Edit: also, iframes are not self closing tags, so you're going to get weird behaviour if you use <iframe /> like you did in your post. You should close the tag explicitly: <iframe></iframe>
A working example;
$(document).ready(function(e) {
$('iframe').each(function() {
if ($(this).attr('name') == "test1")
$(this).attr('src', 'https://www.domain1.com');
if ($(this).attr('name') == "test2")
$(this).attr('src', 'https://www.domain2.com');
if ($(this).attr('name') == "test3")
$(this).attr('src', 'https://www.domain3.com');
});
});
<iframe name="test1"></iframe>
<br>
<iframe name="test2"></iframe>
<br>
<iframe name="test3"></iframe>

<iframe id="koW2Clc0xEA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1" title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/koW2Clc0xEA?enablejsapi=1"></iframe>
I already use the YouTube JavaScript API to load one hero video, I can imagine that I may can use that code as the basic, but it belongs to another part of the site then the hero video.
I prepared a little JsFiddle for you: https://jsfiddle.net/v879x7bm/3/
Create a container in your HTML:
<div id="ytContainer"></div>
JavaScript with jQuery:
var yourJsonAsString = '{"videos":[{"title":"bla bla","id":"no3unQcv_vg"},{"title":"blub","id":"3IHrNcJdP8s"},{"title":"abc","id":"-6v-rwoRv_4"}]}';
var ytVideos = JSON.parse(yourJsonAsString);
for (var i in ytVideos.videos) {
var ytVideo = $("<iframe/>");
ytVideo.attr({
width: 560,
height: 315,
src: 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/' + ytVideos.videos[i].id,
frameborder: 0
});
$("#ytContainer").append(ytVideo);
}
In this example I expected your unserialized object structure is looking like this:
{
"videos":[
{
"title":"bla bla",
"id":"no3unQcv_vg"
},
{
"title":"blub",
"id":"3IHrNcJdP8s"
},
{
"title":"abc",
"id":"-6v-rwoRv_4"
}
]
}
But you can adapt to your needs :)
Imagine that your JSON string that contains the video urls. Here is some code that will work with jQuery. By changing the json_string variable, it will change which videos get loaded to the screen.
<html>
<div id="content_div"></div>
</html>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function () {
var json_string = '{ "vid1" : "www.vid1.url", "vid2" : "www.vid2.url"}';
//make the string into an object
var json_object = JSON.parse(json_string);
//loop through the json_object and add the new video each time through
for (i in json_object) {
jQuery("#content_div").append('<p><iframe width="420" height="315" src="' + json_object[i] + '"></iframe></p>');
}
});
</script>
JSfiddle here showing the code working, but using a <p> tag instead of the iframe.
