I'm having a page with some inline css & javascript, the javascript on the original page contains some click and scroll logic which looks like this
$('#abc').on('click', function() {
$('html, body').scrollTop($('#xyz').offset().top)
});
it works fine on the original page;
Now I'm having a new page, which imports the original page as an iframe on the new page, but because it is iframe, the scope of the javascript code on original page inside this iframe is now bind to the iframe itself, and because it's bind to iframe itself, the $('html, body').scrollTop no longer works...
Is there anyway I can modify the original page to make it work through iframe?
for obvious security reasons, iframes are isolated in their own sandbox.
however, if you are in control of the code of the parent page and the iframe page, then you can use the message mechanism and pass your information through the event.data part.
here the example only passes text, for more extensive data, use JSON.stringify () / JSON.parse ()
file z1.html (parent)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Z1</title>
<style>
#iFrameZ2 { width: 400px; height: 150px; border: 1px solid red; }
#receiveTxt { margin: .5em; border: 1px solid blue; padding: .2em; width: 15em; }
</style>
</head>
