The #id notation in a selector always uses document.getElementById; in your
case it's the wrong document (the document that contains the iframe, not the
document of the iframe). One workaround would be to select the object
manually when you create the jQuery object,
$(window.frames[iframeName].document.getElementById(iframeElement)), and I
agree it's ugly. Another shorter(text)/longer(runtime) way would be to use
the general attribute syntax, $("[EMAIL PROTECTED], iframeDoc).
If you do the latter, it will be more efficient to use the actual tag type
(e.g, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) rather than *, which requires looking at every element
in the iframe.
