I am working on a project in which I have to load an iframe inside a HTML table and get the text that is written inside a <h2> tag of the iframe. I tried the following code:

var iframes = $('iframe').contents().find("html").html();
alert(iframes);

I also tried some other variations of it that I found, but it didn't work. You can refer this Codepen code.

Does someone know what am I doing wrong? All suggestions are openly welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

From viewing your Codepen I can see that the iframe source is on a different domain, so you cannot amend the content. It would be a massive security flaw if it were possible. – Rory McCrossan Feb 06 '18 at 09:09
@RoryMcCrossan you mean its not possible? – V15HM4Y Feb 06 '18 at 09:10
Yes, that's correct. – Rory McCrossan Feb 06 '18 at 09:18
