i assume this should do the work using jquery

$('iframe').contents().contentType

in the load event this should point to the iframe dom so

$(this).contentType

should work

Both ways returns me 'undefined'. But I know where you are going, you are getting the contentType property from the document DOM element. Why the content() method doesn't return the document DOM element? I have found an alternative way of getting the document element using raw javascript, but I would like to do it using jQuery. – Guillermo Gutiérrez Sep 20 '12 at 16:41
