Why does appending a <script> to a dynamically created <iframe> seem to run the script in the parent page?
I'm attempting to create an <iframe> using JavaScript, then append a <script> element to that <iframe>, which I want to run in the context of the <iframe>d document.
Unfortunately, it seems I'm doing something wrong - my JavaScript appears to execute successfully, but the context of the <script> is the parent page, not the <iframe>d document. I also get a 301 Error in Firebug's "Net" tab when the browser requests iframe_test.js, though it then requests it again (not sure why?) successfully.
This is the code I'm using (live demo at http://onespot.wsj.com/static/iframe_test.html):
iframe_test.html
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3开发者_如何学Python.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<title><iframe> test</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="bucket"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#bucket').append('<iframe id="test"></iframe>');
setTimeout(function() {
var iframe_body = $('#test').contents().find('body');
iframe_body.append('<scr' + 'ipt type="text/javascript" src="http://onespot.wsj.com/static/iframe_test.js"></scr' + 'ipt>');
}, 100);
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
iframe_test.js
$(function() {
var test = '<p>Shouldn\'t this be inside the <iframe>?</p>';
$('body').append(test);
});
One thing that seems unusual is that the the code in iframe_test.js even works; I haven't loaded jQuery in the <iframe> itself, only in the parent document. That seems like a clue to me, but I can't figure out what it means.
Any ideas, suggestions, etc. would be much appreciated!
Had the same problem, took me hours to find the solution. You just need to create the script's object using the iframe's document.
var myIframe = document.getElementById("myIframeId");
var script = myIframe.contentWindow.document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.src = src;
myIframe.contentWindow.document.body.appendChild(script);
Works like a charm!
I didn't find an answer to my original question, but I did find another approach that works even better (at least for my purposes).
This doesn't use jQuery on the parent page (which is actually a good thing, as I'd prefer not to load it there), but it does load jQuery in the <iframe> in an apparently completely valid and usable way. All I'm doing is writing over the <iframe>'s document object with a new one created from scratch. This allows me to simply include a <script> element in a string which I then write to the <iframe>'s document object.
The code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<title>frame</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="test"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// create a new <iframe> element
var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
// append the new element to the <div id="bucket"></div>
var bucket = document.getElementById('test');
bucket.appendChild(iframe);
// create a string to use as a new document object
var val = '<scr' + 'ipt type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></scr' + 'ipt>';
val += '<scr' + 'ipt type="text/javascript"> $(function() { $("body").append("<h1>It works!</h1>"); }); </scr' + 'ipt>';
// get a handle on the <iframe>d document (in a cross-browser way)
var doc = iframe.contentWindow || iframe.contentDocument;
if (doc.document) {
doc = doc.document;
}
// open, write content to, and close the document
doc.open();
doc.write(val);
doc.close();
</script>
</body>
</html>
I hope this helps someone down the road!
The answer to the original question is simple - the execution of the script is done by jquery, and since jquery is loaded in the top frame, this is where the script runs too, no matter where you are appending it. A smarter implementation of jquery can no doubt be made to use the correct window object, but for now things are how they are.
As to the workarounds, you already have two good answers (even if one is your own). What I might add is that you can use one of those workarounds to include jquery.js in the iframe, and then get that jquery object instead of the top one to insert your additional markup... but that may very well be overkill too.
