Load script inside iframe

Question

I have a script such as:

<script> document.body....make something and draw many things in the browser </script>

Which I'd like to execute sandboxed inside an iframe. How can I load this piece of javascript inside the iframe?

I'm trying that which does not work:

document.getElementById('previewFrame').contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML = "<script language='javascript'></script>";

Thanks.

You can't manipulated stuff via javascript on another 'site' due to security restrictions. What exactly are you trying to do? — Barry Chapman, Sep 21 '12 at 19:16
And - on that note, you cant insert scripts via innerHTML - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1197575/can-scripts-be-inserted-with-innerhtml — Barry Chapman, Sep 21 '12 at 19:17
I'm in the same domain. The iframe is mine and starts empty. — Jordi P.S., Sep 21 '12 at 19:21

Name the frame and do

window.frames["framename"].document.write('<script>...<\/script>');
window.frames["framename"].document.close();
