You are searching for node elements with id=login that are child of your iframes. You need to use the dom of the page loaded inside the i frame try $(frames['Theiframe']).get(0).contentDocument I in the content page is present jquery, use $(frames['Theiframe']).get(0).contentWindow.$('#login') BTW, you can access child dom only if in same domain Paolo On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 10:53 AM, ximo wallas <igguan...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > After 1 day googling and trying I find no agreement in a solid method for > comunicating with iframe, this is the nearest point I've been to get in touch > with IFRAME: > > $(frames['Theiframe']).ready( function () > { > alert('Frame is loaded'); > > }); > > This will alert the message, but any attempt to comunicate with the iframe > and access it's contents have been useless, I have a hidden field with with > ID "login" and I'm trying to get it's value: > > $(frames['Theiframe']).find("#login").val(); //Doesn't work in FF 3.0.14 > > ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// > > var $currentIFrame = $(frames['Theiframe']); > $currentIFrame.contents().find("body #login").val() //Neither does in FF > 3.0.14 > > If you Google a few you will see that everyone is giving it's own opinion on > how to do it, but there's no agreement and no crossbrowser solid solution... > >
