iframe.contentWindow.document Chrome alternative?
Solution 1
Chrome does in fact support iframe.contentWindow.document
, but there's a little wrinkle that you've probably fallen prey to: if the file set to the iframe.src
property is being accessed locally (i.e. using the "file://" protocol), that property is inaccessible in Chrome. This will happen if you specify a relative file address and attempt to test the script without using a web-server like IIS or Apache (by simply double-clicking it). The same also applies to iframe.contentDocument
.
I ran into a similar problem where, for some odd reason, Chrome would not accept event handlers dynamically attached to iframes. Then I found the note in this article, tested with Apache, and hey presto, it suddenly began to work.
Solution 2
iframe.contentDocument
is what you want.
