Removing all anchor title attributes in an iframe

Question

Is there a way to remove all anchor title attributes in all links within an iframe so that when you hover over them you don't get the title?

I know I can do something like the following but for some reason it isn't working.

$("iframe").load(function() {
    $("iframe").contents().find("a").each(function(index) {
      $(this).attr('title','');
    });
});

No, completely different domain. I'm just trying to kill the anchor hovers because they are quite annoying in this instagram plugin @adeneo — bryan, Jun 01 '17 at 20:39

^ That's the reason for asking, the same origin policy prohibits you from accessing content not loaded from the same domain, so basically you can't do this. — adeneo, Jun 01 '17 at 20:57

This will work for you on the same domain:

 $('iframe').load(function(){
        $(this).contents().find('a').removeAttr('title');
 })

If you are not on the same domain, it will not work. See the following SO Question/Answer:

Doesn't work. `$(this).contents()` returns nothing. `$(this)` returns the iframe however – bryan Jun 01 '17 at 20:43
I see your issue is cross domain. This will only work same domain. – CodeLikeBeaker Jun 01 '17 at 20:44

If iframe uses same protocol and domain, you can change iframe's content.

Different protocol or domain will generate an Security Exception.

Given the contents of iFrame is from same domain you can use the following for every anchor tag

$('a').removeAttr('title');

My problem is it's not getting the contents – bryan Jun 01 '17 at 20:40
Great, so how do I do it if it isn't the same domain? – bryan Jun 01 '17 at 20:43

Try This:

Javascript: Demo

var iframe = document.getElementById('iframeId');
var innerDoc = (iframe.contentDocument) ? iframe.contentDocument : iframe.contentWindow.document;

var links = innerDoc.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
  links[i].removeAttribute("title");
}

Jquery: Demo

setTimeout( function () {
      $("#iframeId").contents().find("a").removeAttr("title");
}, 1000 );
