Question

I’m looking to load a webpage into an iframe via a string output from PHP. Every example I’ve seen showing this is Javascript based.

Curious is there is a jQuery method to accomplish loading a string as the content for an iframe?

This is the Javscript (partial jQuery) implementation I’m currently using:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function() {
        setTimeout( function() {
            var resume = document.getElementById('resume_holder')
            var doc = resume.contentWindow.document;
            var $body = $('body',doc);

            var htmlString = "<h1>TEST</h1>";
            $body.html(htmlString);
        }, 1 );
    });
</script>

Answer 1

$(function() {
    var htmlString = "<h1>TEST</h1>";
    $('#resume_holder').contents().find('body').html(htmlString);
});

• .contents() instead of .contentWindow.document / .contentDocument.
  .contents(), called on a frame element, returns the document, wrapped in a jQuery object.
• $(doc).find('body') is a faster equivalent to $('body', doc).
