Get the URL of an iframe then alert it - javascript

So basically I'm trying to make a button so when you press it, it alerts the url the iframe is on.
My HTML:
<iframe id="iframeid" scrolling="auto" width="100" height="100" src="http://www.google.com" >
</iframe>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Click me</button>
Then for my Javascript I have:
function myFunction() {
alert(document.getElementById('iframeid').contentWindow.location.href);
}
Though when I press it it's not working. When I replace the alert with something else like "Potato" then it will work. Though for some reason it can't get the url, or maybe the frame. Any help accepted!

When the frame is displaying a document on another origin (as in your example), there is no way to get the URL that is being displayed.
The URL might include personal data belonging to the user so your site is prevented from accessing it.
Always look at your JS console:

Append iframe to div without refreshing

I have a html structure like:
<div id="bar">
<iframe id="foo"></iframe>
<iframe id="foo2"></iframe>
</div>
Each iframe has javaScript running inside it.
Now: I need to add another element... <iframe id="foo3"></iframe> to the end of the div without foo & foo2 from refreshing. I thought jQueries.append() was the way to do this, but this still refreshes the original iframes (Which resets the javaScript inside the already existing iframes).
Any tips/ideas? Thanks
Below will be the code
document.getElementById("bar").innerHTML += '<iframe id="foo3"></iframe>';
Not sure if it will refresh the other iframes

Hiding a div that contains an iframe

I have a div that contains the iframe, this iframe loads a URL which shows a page.
Within the iframe, i have a close button which when clicked, hides the div. But I am unable to access the div from within the iframe.
My code as below
<div class="app" id="modalOverlay" style="background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.5);position:absolute;z-index:1;width:100%;height:100%;top: 0;left: 0;">
<div id="modalContainer" style="position:absolute;z-index:2;margin: -250px 0 0 -250px;top: 50%;left: 50%;background-color: #222;width: 500px;height: 500px;">
<a class="close" style="position:relative;top:-10px;z-index:3">Close</a>
<iframe src="http://www.local.dev/api/v1/track" frameborder="0" style="width:500px;height:500px;position:relative;top:-20px">
</iframe>
</div>
</div>
Within the iframe src view, i load a js which uses jquery
$(document).on('click','.close',function(){
$(document).closest('.app').remove();
});
Anyway to do this?
you can use:
$('#modalContainer', window.parent.document);
second parameter is the context in which to search.
$(document).on('click','.close',function(){
$('.app', window.parent.document).remove();
});
Try something like this:
$('#divtohide', window.parent.document).hide();
Or something like this:
$("#InFrameId").on('click', function() {
$('#divtohide', window.parent.document).hide();
});
EDIT: based on the recent update to your question if the frame is from a different domain, browser will flag this as XSS and you may not be able to do much. One way you can run scripts is if the server of the iframe is configured to send the X-XSS-Protection header with correct value.
This can be done with child to parent frame messaging.
Have the parent frame listen for a message.
<div id="myDiv">
<iframe src="childFrame.html" id="frame1"></iframe>
</div>
<script>
window.onmessage = function(e) {
if(e.data == "close") $("#myDiv").toggle();
}
</script>
The child frame can send a message to the parent frame.
<button onclick="parent.postMessage('close', '*');">Hide</button>
See my gist: https://gist.github.com/sfarthin/9140403
DhruvJoshi's method will have the browser flag this as a XSS attack.
Simply you can't, according to your code, I think your iframe comes from different domain, so a frame from different domain cant access to parent page.
Therefore you may consider using nodejs or maybe, you should read this: Cross domain iframe issue or a search with "crossdomain iframe" keywords will lead you to what you need.

capture target link on iframe

Ok, thank you first of all his attention. I have three iframes in 3 different html documents. Organized in this way:
In iframemain.html I have:
<iframe src="iframeparent.html" width="100%" height="600">
</iframe>
In iframeparent.html I have:
<iframe src="iframeson.html" width="90%" height="350" name="_parent">
</iframe>
In iframeson.html I have:
<iframe src="http://anywebsite.com/samplepage.html" width="80%" height="300">
</iframe>
I did this because http://anywebsite.com/samplepage.html links are loaded into main window (iframemain.html), and not what I want, I wish I could capture the target and load the content iframeparent.html without afect to iframemain.html
I clarify that I have no control over the content of: http://anywebsite.com/samplepage.html, but it is annoying that your links loaded into the main window, so I would like all of those links are loaded in the same iframe or much in the iframeparent.html
Is this possible with Javascript or Jquery?. Thanks for your answers.
See if I have understood this correctly
You want to frame a page http://anywebsite.com/samplepage.html on iframemain.
That page has a bunch of links with target="_parent" or worse, "_top"
You want the page you have framed to not target iframemain but to have all links stay in that frame.
If the links target _parent, then your solution is correct. If they target _top, you would need to use a proxy on the server. It would break if they change the way they target links (using javascript or base target for example) but the idea is that you have
<iframe src="yourproxy.php?url=http://anywebsite.com/samplepage.html" width="80%" height="300"></iframe>
and in there, replace all _top and/or _parent with _self
But show some examples of the links (you can change the URL to protect your client) so we can help better

show only one div within an iframe (javascript, JQuery...)

First just let me say I'm open to ideas on a different approach altogether.
I have and iframe as such:
<div id="testloadlogin">
<iframe src="../security/login.aspx" width="400" height="500"
scrolling="auto" frameborder="1">
[Your user agent does not support frames or is currently configured
not to display frames. However, you may visit
the related document.]
</iframe>
</div>
The page being loaded with the iframe has a div called loginInnerBox. I only want to display the loginInnerBox and everything inside of it.
Any ideas on how to do this? I was thinking of using Jquery or javascript of some kind to remove everything else on the page loaded by the iframe, not sure how to access that though...
Just to be clear I want everything on my page outside of the iframe to remain intact. I want the equivalent of saying $.('testloadlogin').load('../security/login.aspx' #loginInnerBox) which would just get loginInnerBox's html and place it in the testloadlogin div. However I need the back-end processing from the other page which is supported by iframe, but not by the Jquery load.
The markup of the page loaded by the iframe is
<body>
<div>
</div>.......
<div class="AspNet-Login" id="ctl00_CLPMainContent_Login1">
<div id="loginInnerBox">
<div id="loginCreds">
<table>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
</div>....
</body>
Do you need more information than that?
I tried this, it had no effect:
<div class="ui-corner-all" id="RefRes">
<div id="testloadlogin">
<iframe onload="javascript:loadlogin()" id="loginiframe" src="../security/login.aspx"
scrolling="auto" frameborder="1">
[Your user agent does not support frames or is currently configured
not to display frames. However, you may visit
the related document.]
</iframe>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadlogin() {
$('<body>*', this.contentWindow.document).not('#ctl00_CLPMainContent_Login1').hide();
}
</script>
With jQuery, you can load not just the contents of a URL, but a specific CSS selector from within that URL. This would be a much cleaner approach. It's like this.
$("#area").load("something.html #content");
Via CSS Tricks
$("iframe").contents().find("*:not(#loginInnerBox)").remove();
Be aware this would only work on iframes loaded from the same domain (same origin policy)
EDIT: Probably this removes children of loginInnerBox as well. In that case you could try to clone it before:
var iframe = $("iframe").contents(),
loginBox = iframe.find("#loginInnerBox").clone();
iframe.find("*").remove();
iframe.append(loginBox);
Something like that..
Add this to the <iframe>-elememt:
onload="$('body>*',this.contentWindow.document).not('#ctl00_CLPMainContent_Login1').hide();"
it will hide every child of the body except #ctl00_CLPMainContent_Login1
If #ctl00_CLPMainContent_Login1 contains more than the loginbox, you have to use the suggestion using clone() posted by pex.

Change iframe src by clicking a link

I have an iframe that looks like this:
<iframe src="http://www.google.com" height=1000 width="500" id="myiframe"></iframe>
I want to create a link so that when I click on it, the iframe on the page changes. How can I do that using jQuery? Is it related to jQuery attr?
You don't need jQuery for that. You don't even need JavaScript for that.
Give your iframe a name, and target your anchors to point to it:
Foo
Bar
Baz
<iframe name="myiframe"></iframe>
This degrades nicely for people who have JavaScript turned off.
on clicking in the link "click here" // it will take move the link to the iframe as specified....
Click Here
<iframe src="blank.html" frameborder="0" name="test" id="test" width=1200 height=800></iframe>
