Get the document by an iframe

Question

How do I create a script that returns with an iframe document. I tried this code but it didn’t work:

function getDocumento(ifrane){
    return iframe.document;
}

I suggest using a library for that. With jQuery it would be something like:

function getFrameContents(iframe){
    return $(iframe).contents();
}

In the pure javascript version you have to take into account different browsers. Test like this:

function getFrameContents(iframe){
   var iframeDocument = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document
   return iframeDocument;
}

Note that in your code you have the function argument name "n" instead of "m".

Bear in mind that if the iframe is in a different domain will have limitations of CORS.
