Question

Let’s say I have an iframe page (iframe.html). Inside this page, I have a script
$(body) or $(document). Now I wanted to understand what does it represent ?

Does it refer to iframes body or the main page body ? If it represnts the main page, how do I make it refer to the iframe ?

Answer 1

$('body') and document refer to those of the iframe‘s own document.

• Within the encapsulating page, use this to access the iframe contents with jQuery selectors.

• Within the iframe, window.parent may refer to the encapsulating page.
