I’ve got a page that has an iframe. Every time the page loads, iframe gets unique id and name assigned to it. I can get the iframe name within loaded iframe like so:

alert(parent.window.frames[window.name].name);

But when i try to get the id value:

alert(parent.window.frames[window.name].id);

I get undefined?

Is it possible to get the id attribute of the iframe within loaded page?

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">

    Try window.frameElement.id in the iframe.
