Question

I have an iframe which lets say that it contains the following text:

<h1> Hello World</h1><h2>Good Morning</h2>
<h3>Try this http://www.google.com</h3></body></html>

I want to read the link found above and visit it. Any idea? I cannot do it using the console because I need to get the cookies from this page

Answer 1

You can’t do it unless the iframe is of the same domain as the parent page.

In case it is then you can use the following script:

var link = $('#iframeid').contents().find('h3').html(); //Thanks to rob for the correction

Then you will simply have to filter out the link from the other text from the variable.
