I though this would be simple enough but I can't find the answer. I need to know how I can access an iframe's name from within said iframe. I was trying something like this but it's not working.
<iframe name="thename">
<script type="text/javascript">
alert(parent.name);
</script>
</iframe>
There is a combination of answers I prefer:
// window.frameElement Gets IFrame element which document inside
window.frameElement.getAttribute("Name");
It works on IE7+, Mozilla & Chrome
You were nearly right. Setting the name attribute on a frame or iframe sets the name property of the frame's global window object to that string. (Not parent, which refers to the window of the document that owns the frame.)
So unless some other script has deliberately changed the name, it's as simple as:
1.html:
<iframe name="tim" href="2.html"></iframe>
2.html:
<script type="text/javascript">
alert(window.name); // tim
</script>
in some cases window.frameElement returns null in iframe, so i figured workaround for it.
1. you need to set hash in src url of iframe
<iframe name="tim" href="2.html#your-hash"></iframe>
2. in iframe you can get this hash with
<script type="text/javascript">
var hash = window.location.hash;
</script>
Well, an IFRAME element shouldn't contain anything, it's targeting another document. So using a SCRIPT tag inside an IFRAME doesn't make alot of sense. Instead, use the SCRIPT inside the called document, e.g.
iframe_caller.html:
<html>
<body>
<iframe id="theIframe" name="theIframe" src="iframe_doc.html"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
iframe_doc.html:
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var iframes= parent.document.getElementsByTagName("iframe");
document.write(iframes[0].getAttribute("id"));
</script>
</body>
</html>
Note I'm using parent.document.function() there.
Something like this should work:
parent.document.getElementById('idhere').name;
You have to use the parent and then get the element either byId, Name, etc... then access the name property.
So your code should be like:
<iframe name="thename">
<script type="text/javascript">
var iframeName = parent.document.getElementById('idhere').name;
</script>
</iframe>

I want to popup iframe src(domain) when script load.
I code simple code but it does not working.
<html>
<title>Iframe load</title>
<iframe src="https://evil.com/" id="site" width="800px" heigth="700px"></iframe>
<script>
var siteD = document.getElementById("site");
alert(siteD);
</script>
</html>
When page load its only showing me [object HTMLIFrameElement]. But i want to show in popup evil.com from src. I hope you understand my question.
The cause: alert() wants to show a string, which is why it applies toString() to its parameter, and that does not render any of the properties of the object.
You need to use alert(siteD.src); instead:
var siteD = document.getElementById("site");
alert(siteD.src);
<iframe src="https://evil.com/" id="site" width="800px" heigth="700px"></iframe>
There's a simple answer to your question, siteD has a property src which you need to be alerting instead of siteD on its own.
Here is an example with src as property: https://codepen.io/dwaynehulsman/pen/rNxYYWQ
I want to remove iframe's content but keep the "iframe tag" unchanged
like:
<iframe>
<html>
...
</html>
</iframe>
change to
<iframe>
</iframe>
I tried this:
var frame_node = document.getElementsByTagName("iframe")[0];
frame_node.removeChild(frame_node.firstChild);
But I got an error: frame_node.firstChild is not an object
So how to do this?
thx
got the answer:
document.getElementsByTagName("iframe")[0].contentWindow.document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].remove();
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 want to get content of script tag example
now see above in src property load bolo7.com content i want to catch that contain
i have try so many method but it doesn't work
try 1 -> document.getElementById("data").innerHTML; //doesn't work
try2 -> document.getElementById("data").text; //doesn't work
if you are intelligent in javascript please give me answer that how to get content of script inside content
thanks in advance for your answer
my website is : http://www.bolo7.com/
The text property defined by the HTMLScriptElement interface is the text content of the script element. If the element uses a src attribute, it should not have any content so its text property will be an empty string.
In that case, you will need to access the src some other way, perhaps XMLHttpRequest will suit.
Note also that the id attribute for script elements is not valid for the DOCTYPE being used at the linked resource (and the document is invalid).
Something like this?
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
//some data here
function add1(x) {
return 1 + x;
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert(document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0].innerHTML);
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
but RobG is right, only works for inline javascript.
I have something like this:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
<iframe id="someFrame"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
And I would like to use jQuery to write elements such that the full equivalent HTML would be like this:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
<iframe id="someFrame">
<!-- inside the iframe's content -->
<!-- <html><body> -->
<div>A</div>
<div>B</div>
<div>C</div>
<!-- </body></html> -->
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
Alternatively, any plain-old-Javascript would be fine.
Thanks.
Edit: After a little more research, it seems I am looking for an IE-equivalent of the contentDocument property of an iframe. "contentDocument" is a W3C standard which FF supports, but IE does not. (surprise surprise)
You can do both, you just have to target differently:
var ifrm = document.getElementById('myIframe');
ifrm = ifrm.contentWindow || ifrm.contentDocument.document || ifrm.contentDocument;
ifrm.document.open();
ifrm.document.write('Hello World!');
ifrm.document.close();
After some research, and a corroborating answer from Mike, I've found this is a solution:
var d = $("#someFrame")[0].contentWindow.document; // contentWindow works in IE7 and FF
d.open(); d.close(); // must open and close document object to start using it!
// now start doing normal jQuery:
$("body", d).append("<div>A</div><div>B</div><div>C</div>");
There are two reliable methods to access the document element inside an iframe:
1. The window.frames property:
var iframeDocument = window.frames['iframeName'].document; // or // var iframeDocument = window.frames[iframeIndex].document;
Demo
2. The contentDocument property:
var iframeDocument = document.getElementById('iframeID').contentDocument; // or // var iframeDocument = document.getElementById('iframeID').contentWindow.document;
Demo
I am going out on a limb here and suggest that the answers proposed so far are not possible.
If this iframe actually has a src="somepage.html" (which you ought to have indicated, and if not, what is the point of using iframe?), then I do not think Jquery can directly manipulate html across frames in all browsers. Based on my experience with this kind of thing, the containing page cannot directly call functions from or make any sort of Javascript contact with the iframe page.
Your "somepage.html" (the page that loads in the iframe) needs to do two things:
Pass some kind of object to the containing page that can be used as a bridge
Have a function to set the HTML as you desired
So for example, somepage.html might look like this:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery.js">
</script>
<script language=JavaScript>
<!--//
var bridge={
setHtml:function(htm) {
document.body.innerHTML=htm;
}
}
$(function() { parent.setBridge(bridge); });
//--></script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
and the containing page might look like this:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery.js">
</script>
<script language=JavaScript>
<!--//
var bridge;
var setBridge=function(br) {
bridge=br;
bridge.setHtml("<div>A</div><div>B</div><div>C</div>");
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body><iframe src="somepage.html"></iframe></body>
</html>
This may appear a bit convoluted but it can be adapted in a number of directions and should work in at least IE, FF, Chrome, and probably Safari and Opera...
I have found this to be cross-browser compatible... a little crossing of previous answers and a bit of trial & error of my own. :)
I'm using this for a download of a report, or, if an error (message) occurs, it's displayed in the iFrame. Most of the users will probably have the iFrame hidden, I'm using it multi-functional.
The thing is I have to clear the contents of the iFrame every time I click the report download button - the user can change parameters and it happens there are no results which then is displayed in the iFrame as a message. If there are results, the iFrame remains empty - because the code below has cleared it and the window.open(...) method generates a Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=... document.
var $frm = $("#reportIFrame");
var $doc = $frm[0].contentWindow ? $frm[0].contentWindow.document : $frm[0].contentDocument;
var $body = $($doc.body);
$body.html(''); // clear iFrame contents <- I'm using this...
$body.append('<i>Writing into the iFrame...</i>'); // use this to write something into the iFrame
window.open(Module.PATH + 'php/getReport.php' + Report.queryData, 'reportIFrame');
I do not have a browser that supports contentDocument but I've coded it this way so I'm leaving it. Maybe someone has older browsers and can post compatibility confirmation/issues?
