Get Text from iframe

dom, iframe, javascript

Solution

Assuming your iframe is in the same domain as your HTML:

var myIFrame = document.getElementById("myIframe");
var content = myIFrame.contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML;

Otherwise you'll face some Same Origin Policy issues.

Problem

I have the following HTML ``` <iframe id ="myIframe"> #document <head>...</head> <body>Text I want to get is here</body> </iframe> ``` I only know the iframe's id. Using JavaScript, how can I extract the text from the body?
