im writing a litell form filler as Chrome Extenstion, and 1 of the text fields is a iframe.
im trying to add some string the iframe body tags.
this is how the site Iframe html code look like, afther the page is loaded (got it from chrome devlopers tools F12):
<iframe frameborder="0" id="wysiwygtextfield" style="height: 100px; width: 600px; ">
#document
<html>
<head> </head>
<body>
<br/>
</body>
</html>
</iframe>
now my Content Script to try to add some string to the body:
if ($("#wysiwygtextfield").contents().find("body").length > 0) {
var body = $("#wysiwygtextfield").contents().find("body").val("some msg");
}
i tried similer code without using jquery, but it still didnt work.
i read about Same origin policy, but im not sure it apply here. becuse, the script is runing on the client side. (or mybee im wrong).
is there somthing i can do about it?
(sorry for my english)
val is used for getting/setting values of form elements, for body element you should use html method instead.
$("#wysiwygtextfield").contents().find("body").html("some msg")

Background
I am attempting to read (and eventually change) content within the body of an IFrame (in my example this involves h1 tags) embedded in a Confluence page.
Confluence Behavior
Initially I didn't think it was significant, but as comments by #ScottMarcus illustrate; it does matter that this work is for a possible Confluence plugin. This is because I am using a page decorator containing JavaScript that executes when a user edits a Confluence page.
IFrame Restrictions
This means that (to my knowledge) I cannot have JavaScript execute after the editable IFrame has been added to the DOM. It also means that I cannot control what content is added to the IFrame (although this is OK/expected, as the idea is to enhance the user experience if they add tables and install the plugin).
Example
For reference, here is what the wysiwyg Confluence editor looks like for my page (annotated with a couple key elements from my HTML below):
Problem
Although I have been able to read/log the HTML present within the IFrame, I cannot seem to access elements in the same way I am able to within the main document. I have tried different variations on what I have below, doing things like...
selecting elements by ID--for some reason this seems less reliable in this context?
trying to get the contents() or children() of elements--in many cases I get null reference exceptions when trying this
accessing the body from my IFrame object--again, this doesn't seem the same as doing document.body
JavaScript
function doStuff() {
$('#wysiwygTextarea_ifr').ready(function () {
let iFrame = document.getElementById('wysiwygTextarea_ifr');
let frameDoc = iFrame.contentDocument ? iFrame.contentDocument : iFrame.contentWindow.document;
let h1Tags = frameDoc.getElementsByTagName('h1');
//would like to iterate over the collection of h1 tags here, but it always seems to be empty
});
}

Chrome v75 appears to have introduced a bug whereby if you replace an iFrame's src programatically, it will replace the entire page instead of the iFrame.
This didn't happen on v74 and I can't get a test case to work (yet), it just fails in our site. (The site hasn't changed since going from v74 to v75, only Chrome has changed)
It appears to work fine the first time but then when you change it again (in our case viewing report drill downs) it causes the entire page (i.e. the iFrame's Parent) to load the src you were trying to load into the iFrame.
It also doesn't matter if you use pure Javascript or (in our case) JQuery, both cause the same issue.
EDIT: After a few hours detective work, I've found the bug. Setting the tag in the iFrame's content causes Chrome to load the iFrame's content into it's parent rather than the iFrame itself.
I've setup a Plunker account with a demo: https://plnkr.co/edit/UQ0gBY?plnkr=legacy&p=info
Just so I can post the link to Plunker, here is the code for the main file & the iframe content
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
<script>
function onLoaded() {
// find element
let button = document.getElementById("button");
button.addEventListener("click",function(e){
// Add a random number on the end as a cache buster
document.getElementById('frame-finance-custom').src = 'test2.html?rnd=' + Math.random();
},false);
};
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', onLoaded, false);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>IFrame Src Changing Test</div>

<div id="div-frame-finance-custom" style="float:left;width:33%">

Note, using their new layout it doesn't work, but using their legacy layout it does. Feel free to save the files locally and use chrome directly too.
Ok, so this turned out to be a bug in Chrome rather than anything else, so yes, strictly not a SO question, but seeing as SO ranks so well in Google (other search engines are available), I thought it better to leave it here as a solution rather than simply delete it, just incase anyone else has a similar problem.
The reason is outlined as an edit in my question, the solution is to remove the <base target="_parent"> tag from the iFrame and programatically add the 'target="_parent"' attribute to any links in the iFrame.
We do this via jQuery, I'm sure its just as easy via vanilla Javascript.
$('a').attr('target','_parent');
Add that to the javascript that runs when a page has loaded and it'll replace add target="_parent" to any links on the page.
e.g.
<script>
function onLoaded() {
// find all links and add the target attribute
$('a').attr('target','_parent');
};
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', onLoaded, false);
</script>
As #Kaiido says in his comment, its apparently fixed in Chrome v77, but this isn't the current (as of June 2019) stable release, so we've had to add the workaround into production so that our CRM works with Chrome v75. Thanks to #Kaiido for confirming that.
I've got a iFrame on my page which is coming in from an external source and when the iFrame is loaded it's coming in with it's 'own' styling classes and I'm trying to remove one of the classes what it has. So when the iFrame loads the HTML looks like this:
<iframe style="background-color:#fff !important" id="myFrame" src="http://salonspy.co.uk/widget?i=72108" frameborder="0" height="270" width="320">
#document
<html> <!---THIS IS THE TAG I'M TRYING TO GET A HANDLE ON!-->
<head>...</body>
<body>...</body>
</html>
</iframe>
The html tag has a background color applied to it (by the external css) and I'm trying to remove this background-color (or apply a transparent one) but I can't seem to get 'hold' of this tag.
I've got some jQuery that waiting for the iFrame to load but I don't know what to enter to apply this new style.
$(function() {
$("#myFrame").bind("load",function(){
//$(this).contents().find("[tokenid=" + token + "]").html();
alert("iFrame loaded");
//$(this).contents().find("html").css("background-color","white");
var src = $('#myFrame>html').html();
alert(src);
});
});
Could someone assist please?
Thanks.
Moving from comment to answer.
If you are accessing salonspy.co.uk from within the same origin, you may access the HTML contents by calling the inner HTML:
Plain JavaScript
document.getElementById('myFrame').contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML
jQuery
$('#myFrame').contents().find("html").html();
I'm trying to change the value of a text box within iframe.
I have tried using GetElementById in every way i could find and nothing seems to work.
I found a alternative to iframe by using the Object data tag but it has the same problem.
My code more or less, I changed it a bit for presentation:
<html>
<head>
<title>None</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeValue() {
var textBox = document.getElementById('userName');
textBox = "hello!";
}
</script>
<iframe id="myFrame" src="http://www.website.com"></iframe>
<input type="button" onclick="changeValue()" value="Submit">
</body>
</html>
This is not possible for security reasons.
If you had access, you would be able to load, say facebook.com in an iframe on your website and extract user details with JavaScript.
Try something along the lines of
document
.getElementById('myFrame')
.contentWindow
.document
.getElementById('userName')
.value='hello';
As the others pointed out, this will only work if the page inside the iframe is on the same domain.
i need a javascript code that would enable me, on a certain button click to let a panel open which contains another page not under my domain for example, www.google.com!
Press Here and upon pressing it, a popup will appear or a panel will become visible that contains Google.com in it!
thanks!
In a function that you bind to the click event for the element you want to click on: Create an iframe and set its src, then append it to an element already in the document.
I'd look into using jquery http://docs.jquery.com/How_jQuery_Works
It's hosted on a CDN so it's easy to include in a document and many browsers will already have it cached decreasing the pages load time.
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.0/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
jquery is a lightweight javascript library that makes selecting and manipulating page elements REALLY easy.
$("#button").click(function () {
$("#hiddenDiv").slideDown();
});
The hidden div should contain an iframe to display the off-domain page.
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_iframe.asp
Oh and if you need to dynamically assign the iframe then look into the jquery append function http://api.jquery.com/append/
$('#hiddenDiv').append('<iframe src="http://www.google.co.uk"></iframe>');
This should put you on the right tracks.
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.0/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#show_frameDiv').click(function(){
$('#frameDiv').show();
});
});
</script>
<style>
#frameDiv { display: none; }
#frameDiv iframe { width: 100%; height: 600px; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
Show external site
<div id="frameDiv">
<iframe src="http://www.bbc.co.uk">
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>
</div>
</body>
This will work only if the site you are trying to display allows frames. Otherwise you may need to open the site in a separate browser window.
use window.Open method like this:
window.open ("www.google.com","mywindow");
