im creating modal windows with iframes inside of them dynamicly with js and im trying to figure out how i can get parents of that iframe from within to be able to manipulate that iframe specific window. Is it possible?

For example - main page will create 2 same divs with iframe inside

<div class="window"><iframe src="./testPage.html"></iframe></div>
<div class="window"><iframe src="./testPage.html"></iframe></div>

And i want to modify/remove or just simply get this $(".window") from testPage.html (iframe) but only that one which contains iframe where is testPage im actualy calling this script on (not both divs).

I hope it is understandable, sorry for my english :)

i just want to get element one level up from iframe im currently in no id provided (element containing iframe im currently in) – astromedia Oct 18 '16 at 15:01
OP has code running in the iframe. OP wants to access the parent and get a reference to that iframe. – epascarello Oct 18 '16 at 15:01
`parent.$(".window").each( function(){ console.log(this.contentWindow==window); } );` – epascarello Oct 18 '16 at 15:04
You can use `MessageChannel`, see [How to clear the contents of an iFrame from another iFrame](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33645685/how-to-clear-the-contents-of-an-iframe-from-another-iframe) – guest271314 Oct 18 '16 at 15:07
