javascript - 从iframe中的元素获取数据

Question

I've got this <iFrame> [name="data"] with a page displaying a <span> , with id="weergave_percentage". I want to get the numbers from that span into a javascript function. I currently made this, but it returns: null

var percentage = window.frames['data'].document.getElementById('weergave_percentage');
alert(percentage);

What am I doing wrong and how can I do what I want?

Note: the span containing the data, only contains numbers (float), and no other HTML formatting of any kind. Also, I've put the piece of javascript after the code for the iFrame, to make sure the iFrame is loaded when I try to get the data from the iFrame. Also, the iFrame's src is on the same domain as the main page.

Answer 1

If iframe src links to other domain than the one your pages is displayed from - then you can't get that data (browsers prevernt cross-site scripting).

Other than that - this could should work:

$('iframe').contents().find('#weergave_percentage').html();
