iframe document.write中的javascript覆盖父文档

Question

I want to load HTML as string into an iframe via Javascript. like this:

$('#iframe1').contents().find('html').html("<h1>This is an iframe</h1>");

this worked great until I found out, that inside this HTML upcomming Javascript like document.write are writing to the wrong document -> the parent!

Here is a Plunker to show it: http://plnkr.co/edit/YQAqqSDCVKnP3uhLj4lF?p=preview

if I load the same HTML to the iframe via src as external document, the document.write goes to the iframe (and not to the parent), which is what i was expecting.

Are there some insights out there? How can I tell the browser to correctly create the iframes document scope before it executes its Javascript?

PS: Its meant to be for preview purposes, so i inject HTML-Code of a (trusted!) source, but within that code, document.write is allowed.

Answer 1

Ok. srcdoc is helpfull here.

$('#iframe1').attr({srcdoc:intrusiveHTML});

I updated the Plunker.

With srcdoc , Javascript won't slip up with the document scope.

It won't work in IE ( http://caniuse.com/#feat=iframe-srcdoc ), so it might help to use Polyfill additionally: https://github.com/jugglinmike/srcdoc-polyfill

But I did not test that yet.

Instead of using document.write , use document.getElementById('iframe1').contentWindow.document.write . Because when you point document it will take main window document, so we need to indicate which iframe doument need to be used.
