Check all checkboxes inside an iframe (when inviting guests to a facebook event)

Question

i'm trying to check all checkboxes when inviting guests to a facebook event. Facebook has changed something i think beacuse i usually used this code and now it is not working:

var elms=document.getElementsByName("checkableitems[]");
var lunghezza = elms.length;
for (i=0;i<lunghezza ;i++){if (elms[i].type="checkbox" )elms[i].click()};

I discovered that the modal windows to invite guests is inside an iframe but i can't checkboxes inside it!

I've used

jQuery('iframe#iframe_sbx_id').find('input[type=checkbox]').click()

but it doesn't work because find() returns an empty set. Any idea on how to do it?

Is it a modal dialog or just an iframe within the page? – Steven Oxley May 29 '11 at 18:15 — Steven Oxley, May 29 '11 at 18:15

You could use contents() to access the content of the iframe, but because it's on another domain, it won't work:

The .contents() method can also be used to get the content document of an iframe, if the iframe is on the same domain as the main page.

Yes you are right: i get "Error: Permission denied to access property 'ownerDocument'" if i try it. Have you got any idea on how to bypass this? – Nicola Peluchetti May 30 '11 at 07:25
There's no way to access an iframe content from another domain. Otherwise you could do terrible things (get the user's friend list, read his mails, etc.). I don't know what Facebook provides. Maybe there's another way (through an API for example). – Michaël Witrant May 30 '11 at 11:48
