from jquery to page variables

Question

Please forgive my poor use of the correct terminology here!

I have a page with nested iframe where I use jquery to traverse through to it - I can pull any element from the iframe and perform jquery functions on it.

Within the iframe's page, is a javascript variable. How can I access this variable?

cheers :)

Does the content of the iframe come from the same domain as that of the container page? — Salman A, Apr 07 '11 at 09:07

If your iframes are hosted on the same domain you can access them from the window.frames array. Something so:

window.frames['myframename'].document.some_variable

Variable can be accessed through `window` object, not `document`. – Salman A Apr 07 '11 at 09:24

perfect, cheers.. (and thanks to everyone else for the other responses).. I guess wanting to do the 'finding' through jQuery was a bit unnecessary. – Tabloo Quijico Apr 07 '11 at 09:38
