Question

<iframe name="aa">
  <iframe name="bb">
  </iframe> 
  <iframe name="cc">
  </iframe> 
</iframe>

(assume that iframes shown above have all the required attributes.)

Can I get subframes of frame with name=”aa” in native javascript?
Browser renders them all, no problem.
I was trying frame.frames to get the array of inner frames, where frame is frame object for outer frame i.e, “aa”. But it is not working.

Is it even possible ?
Any help ???

Many thanks.

You can do this, however as each iframe is technically loading another page, you would have to code it into the actual webpage that your first iframe is loading.

To further explain…

<iframe name"aa"></iframe> <!-- this is coded into the first page calling the page below //-->


<iframe name="bb"></iframe> <!-- coded into the second page calling another page //-->
<iframe name="cc"></iframe> <!-- coded into the second page calling anothe page //-->

Remember, iframes are just “windows” into other pages.
