Question

It’s possible to test for the existence of an HTML element using jQuery. For one example:

• Is there an "exists" function for jQuery?

It is possible to do the same for an element that is inside an iframe? My best attempt:

if($("#frameId").contents().find('elementName').length > 0)
{
  // do something with the element
}

EDIT: To avoid chasing the cross-domain rabbit, assume that yes, the files are (will be) in the same domain.

Answer 1

Someone posted the right answer, but then deleted it. Don’t know why. This is what worked:

if($("#frameId").contents().find('elementName').length)
{
  // do something with the element
}

Thanks, Mystery Man!
