Is there a cross browser method of returning the window object of an element

  • 0

Is there a cross browser method of returning the window object of an element whether it be in an iframe.

This does the job for me but I don’t know how well supported it is or if jQuery has a solution.

var edoc = elem.ownerDocument.defaultView || elem.document.parentWindow;

    Your code should work in all major browsers. To clarify it – the first part is for non-IE browsers while the second targets IE. To the best of my knowledge jQuery does not provide a shortcut for that code.
