Get title string from url within iframe using jQuery? - javascript

I wonder if it is possible to get the page title of an url within IFRAME. I tried to use jQuery $('#iframe').attr('title') but that doesn't work. Please help. Thanks.

I think this is what you're looking for:
$(document).ready(function()
{
alert($('#iframe').contents().find("title").text());
});
That will return the page title that is located in the <title> tag of the iframe document that has the id "iframe".

I misread your question.
$('title', frames[frameName].document).text();

If what you are looking for is a way to get the URL of the iframe after the user has clicked on a link within that iframe, this is not possible in any modern browser that blocks cross-domain attempts.
Even though the iframe is part of the DOM and you can easily find the new iframe URL using apps like Firebug, Firefox will throw a XSS error on any attempts by js to directly pull that info.
But for the record, as it's already been said, the location within the DOM of the actual URL of the iframe content is (with a little help from jquery) : $("#id_of_iframe).contentDocument.location.href
I'm not totally sure if the above points straight to it with the above syntax, but that's the gist of it. The part that is a no-no is trying to go inside that contentDocument part.

Getting the iframe's URL parameter from within the iframe

I have an iframe that is loaded on web page and I do not have permissions to access the parent page. I have access to the iframe's code. I would like to access one of the parameters of this iframe. What is the best way to achieve this?
I tried location.search but it does not give me all the parameters.
Any suggestions?
Cheers.
I managed to find the answer myself and we can retrieve the iframe's URL using the following code:
document.location.href
This seems to work fine without any issues.

Linking to the end of another page in which i have no access to the source of

The website i'm trying to link to is pretty much a text document (see below), i'm trying to link to the last line preferable, highlighting it would be ideal but a link to the end of the page would work.
I've tried various code snippets, but as i have no access to the code of the page i cannot create anchor in the target page and link directly to that.
if i can get the following code to run on the page once i have navigated to it, i believe that would solve the problem, but my JS knowledge does not extend that far
window.onload=toBottom;
function toBottom()
{
alert("Scrolling to bottom ...");
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
}
i am linking using the following code
`— Alan Turing `
http://www.loebner.net/Prizef/TuringArticle.html
I would deeplink and find an ID on the remote page and link directly to that so for example
www.loebner.net/Prizef/TuringArticle.html#ELEMENTID
However if the page does not have an element at the bottom with an ID then might be a problem, do you have access to that page to add an ID?
Cleanest solution was contacting the site administrator of the site and setting up a mirror on my server of the original file and adding an #ID to the element i wanted to deeplink to and linking to the #ID from within my webpage
href="<c:url value="loebner#ID"/>"

JQuery Click on a div that's inside an iframe

I am trying to create a click event on an iframe:
This is what I'm trying but without success:
$('iframe').contents().find('#theButton').click();
What I'm I doing wrong here?
As a security principle; You are not allowed to do anything in an iframe that's base uri is different from what is in the address bar; You just allowed to manipulate the iframe'e that's src tag is equal to page's.
Think about what would be happen if you insert a bank's internet banking in an iframe and cheate the people and in backend change the source of money transfers to your own account :D
but what you can do is to get the html source code of the where you want to show in an iframe; and show it using javascript; then you will be able to treat with that source code like your own.
try in this way it will work for u
$('iframe').load(function(){
var iframe = $('iframe').contents();
iframe.find("div").click();
});

How to make javascript link target to my iframe?

I have a iframe and there is a javascript function in it. Basically, I want to create an anchor tag to call the function and activate it in my iframe. Do you have any idea?
<p>Edit Google</p>
<iframe name="test" src="http://www.google.com"></iframe>
It is not working. Any idea?
I was searching around trying to find an answer, but I think it's easier if I just give you a link to this site that I found: http://www.dyn-web.com/tutorials/iframes/refs.php
You can't do that for obvious security reasons: one website can't and should never be able to control anything in other website.
If both pages are in the same domain there is a way, but different domains? Nope.
Instead of showing iframe you can try loading the external site with AJAX, parse the result and show your own form.
