firebug: how to cd to an iframe

问题:

I have a facebook canvas application that runs in an iframe. I would like to debug my page in firebug but can not get the javascript to scope to the iframe that is running my app.

the iframe:

<iframe frameborder="0" src="[app_url_removed]" name="iframe_canvas" id="iframe_canvas" class="canvas_iframe_util" style="height: 905px;"></iframe>

i've tried all the following and none of them work:

cd(iframe_canvas)
cd(window.iframe_canvas)
cd(iframe_canvas.window)
cd($('iframe_canvas'))

I have firefox 3.6.13 and I have tried firebug 1.7a11 and firebug 1.6.2

also tried the bookmarklet and various other things from this link Firebug and jQuery selectors in an iFrame to no avail.

回答1:

use one of these commands:

 cd(frames[0]) 
 cd(frames["iframe_canvas"])

and

 cd(top)

to return to the main window.

Still, due to a bug this currently doesn't work on cross-domain-iframes (http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=3893). There are two test cases where you can test your evironment for both cases:

• https://getfirebug.com/tests/content/commandLine/cd.html (same domain, works for me: FF 3.6.13, FB 1.6.2)
• http://getfirebug.com/tests/issues/3893/issue3893.html (cross domain, fails)

Another possible source of surprise: if you execute more commands at once the cd command seems to not have an effect for the directly following commands:

 >>> cd(frames[0]); location.href;
 ["Current window:", Window cdFrame.html]
 "https://getfirebug.com/tests/content/commandLine/cd.html"
 >>> location.href
 "https://getfirebug.com/tests/content/commandLine/cdFrame.html"

In Chrome there is a dropdown at the bottom top* of the javascript console that lets you switch to a different frame to execute javascript in. Works cross-domain too!

_{*Updated 2/10/14: In more recent versions of Chrome, this dropdown has been moved from the bottom to the top of the console.}

I guess the wiki was not updated back when this question was asked, but now it has nice examples: https://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Cd

Basically, what you were missing to get the window from the iframe element was ".contentWindow"

回答4:

Elements can be accessed as follows: window.frames[x].document.getElementById("elementID"); where x would be the frame index and elementID is the element you are pointing to.
