Question

Hi my code returns all the html of the iframe. I would like just the body html. Any one know how to amend to suit?

Code:

alert( $("#uploaderIframe").contents()[0].documentElement.innerHTML );

Answer 1

var iframeHtml = $("#uploaderIframe").contents()[0].documentElement.innerHTML;
var bodyHtml = $(iframeHtml).find("body").html();
alert( bodyHtml );

.. probably creates a new DOM node from the innerHTML of the iFrame – I actually suspect that $(iframeHtml).find("body") is an empty jQuery object.

Try

var bodyHtml = $('#uploaderIframe').contents().find("body").html()
