I have two HTML documents, b.html contains c.html using an iframe.
On b.html I need to draw some DIV (in my example id=selector), which partially cover content of c.html visualized in the iframe.
I need to get the ID of a DOM element corresponding to the mouse coordinate under the DIV selector.
At the moment Using document.elementFromPoint() directly in in c.html works partially, as when the mouse it is on DIV selector I cannot identify the underling DOM element in c.html (in this example DIV c).
I would need to know:
- Is it possible to select element under another, using document.elementFromPoint() or any other means?
- What could be a possible alternatively solution possibly using DOM and native API?
Example here (Please look at the console in Chrome):
