This question didn’t receive any satisfactory answers, so I’m asking again.

I can get my iframe like this:

var iframe = document.getElementById('preview');
var win = iframe.contentWindow;
var doc = win.document;

And write some initial HTML to it like this:

doc.write('<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="reset.css"></head><body>blah blah</body></html>');

And that works great, but now I want to replace the entire thing with some new content. How can I do that?

To be clear, by “entire thing” I mean the <head> too. I need to link some external JS and CSS there.

Preferably, this would also include the <!DOCTYPE>, but it’s non-essential at this point.

    You could simply remove the old iframe node from the DOM and create a new one containing the new contents.
