Is it possible to change the CSS of parent page from iframe when parent page and iframe are from different domains?

Also, Firefox , Opera, Chrome and even IE8 have adopted the html5 "postMessage" api see this link, which allows secure, cross-domain data transmission between frames, iframes and popups. It works like an event system. IE8 supports this feature, apparently, which is perhaps a little surprising.

Summary: No, you can't directly access/edit the DOM of a page from another domain. But you can communicate with it, and it can co-operate to make the changes you want.

What you're asking is not possible.

  • Actually my problem is that, I have two websites. Web 1 and Web 2. Web 1 is rendering Web 2 inside it in iframe. As Web 2 is rendering in Web 1, so i want to hide some controls of Web 1 from Web 2. I don't want to do any change in Web 1. I want to control it from Web 2. When i define Css or write some javascript code in Web 2 to hide controls of Web 1. It does not work. – Sheharyar Hanif Jun 09 '16 at 10:48
