Question

I’m new at jquery, but I need to open some contents in an Iframe (contents living in another domain), which of course loads an entire html page from other location, and then I need to traverse the body contents to find some text in a table in there…

Is there a way to achieve this?

I have also tried to use a popup window with window.open, but I can’t find a way to traverse contents of this new window using jquery, that’s why I thought about the iframe solution…

Thanks! and excuse the much newbie question…

Answer 1

use .contents method to find the element inside the iframe

$("#iframeID").contents().find("#elemInIframe")

edit:

as @elclanrs said in the comments, you cannot access the iframe contents if the iframe doesn’t belong to your domain
