Because of the widget format I'm working with I have a page which has multiple iframes embedded within iframes. I won't paste the code as it's vast and unwieldy but it is essentially just this:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<iframe>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<iframe>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<iframe>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
blah
</body>
</html>
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
However, there may be more - or less - iframes dependent upon the page and template I use.
I'm trying to therefore get the ID of all of the iframes in this page, from within the most-embedded iframe.
Is this possible with jQuery? I've tried a few snippets of code but had no luck:
$('iframe', window.parent.document).each(function() {
console.log($(this).attr("id"));
});
$('iframe', parent.document).each(function() {
console.log($(this).attr("id"));
});
$('iframe').each(function() {
console.log($(this).attr("id"));
});
The output of these is a single ID string - and unfortunately it's not the iframe I'm looking to control.
Thanks in advance,
I do not believe you can reference the iframe's children directly. You will need to recursively search each iframe using it's
.contents()
call.As far as I know, this will only work as long as the same-origin policy is not violated (i.e. the iframes must point to the same domain).
EDITED
This returns an
iframe
element which has the wantedid
, andnull
, if the wantedid
is not found.Notice, that
searchIds()
can't be run beforeonload
of the main window has been fired.From the most embedded iframe:
