How to get innerHTML of an iframe with the latest browser versions like IE11, Chrome 71, Firefox 62(Quantum)












1















I am using IE11, Chrome 71 and Firefox 62(Quantum) browsers. I am just experimenting with iframe to upload the file(it's not a cross domain). The same code was working fine with IE7 earlier.We are making our project a browser agnostic now. I just want to know what is the best way to get innerHTML of the iframe with latest browsers. I have tried with the following approaches, but nothing worked for me.



1)



iframeId = document.getElementById("upload_iframe");
content = iframeId.contentDocument.body.innerHTML;


2) $('#iframeId ').contents().find('body').innerHTML



3) $('#iframeId ').contents().find('body').html();



4)



iframeId = document.getElementById("upload_iframe");
iframeId.contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML


5)



iframeId = document.getElementById("upload_iframe");
iframeId.document.body.innerHTML


Any help is much apprecited.

          did you try the following?



          window.frames['upload_iframe'].document.body.innerHTML 


          (for IE)



          window.frames[0].document.body.innerHTML


          (for Firefox and Chrome)

          • ,Thanks for the response. But your suggestion is not working for me. I am getting Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'innerHTML' of null because window.frames[0].document.body itself is becoming null . Any other thoughts please..
