Issue with iframe and jquery

Question

I'd like to parse my iframe using jquery, I need for example to search in the iframe document the string "Ctrl".

Url of my iframe : http://windows.microsoft.com/fr-xf/internet-explorer/ie-keyboard-shortcuts#ie=ie-11

$('#iframeIe').contents()

Error message :

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to read the 'contentDocument' property from 'HTMLIFrameElement': Blocked a frame with origin "http://localhost:4000" from accessing a cross-origin frame.(…)

Is there any other method to include websites on a page and parse them? I mean parse their text contents...

is the frame on the same domain or can you modify the cors header? — johnny 5, Sep 17 '15 at 14:09

I recommend you this thread

You can try the snippet of this thread :

$(function(){//document ready
    $('some selector', frames['nameOfMyIframe'].document).doStuff()
});

Or take a look at the answers if you have the permission denied errors

You can use AJAX:

$.ajax({
  url: "yourwebsiteurl",
  async: false,
  dataType: 'html',
  cache: false,
  success: function(html){
    $(".div").append(html); // for example append your html to a specific object 
  }
});

Keep in mind that you can only get data from pages that are within the same domain otherwise it will complain about cross-browser origin kind of annoying stuff ;).

ajax won't solve cross domain problem, it is bound to same security policy – charlietfl Sep 17 '15 at 14:22
