I have a document which has a nested frameset. I need to access one of the nested frames, named "sq_main", and access content inside this frame. Here is my structure:
<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
<frameset rows="28,*" frameborder="0" border="0">
<frame src="/_admin/?SQ_BACKEND_PAGE=header" name="sq_header" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<frameset cols="380,10,*" frameborder="0" border="0" id ="main_frameset">
<frame src="/_admin/?SQ_BACKEND_PAGE=sidenav" name="sq_sidenav" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<frame src="/_admin/?SQ_BACKEND_PAGE=resizer" name="sq_resizer" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<frame src="/_admin?SQ_BACKEND_PAGE=main&assetid=43&sq_from_frontend=1" name="sq_main" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="yes">
</frameset>
</frameset>
<noframes></noframes>
</html>
Sadly, I can't change the code, that is why I need to access it with jQuery. I have tried to write a jQuery selector to access the "sq_main" frame, but no luck so far:
$('body', parent.frames[0].sq_main).prepend('<h1>TEST!!!!</h1>');
Ideas on how to drill down into this ugly structure? :)
Try to navigate one step at a time. IIRC, the
frames
array only works withiframes
. Try the selectorframe[name = 'sq_main']
instead.Example by Ronny Sherer:
