How Can I Target A Div Inside An Iframe? January 31, 2024 Post a Comment I have an element inside an I'd like to activate using a link outside the <iframe>. Example: <iframe src='iframe.html' id='iframe'> *inside the ifram</div><h2 id="solution_1">Solution 1: </h2><div class="answer-desc"><p>Framed page (<code>test.html</code>):</p><pre><code id="code_1" class="hljs language-bash">....... lots of content .... <div <span class="hljs-built_in">id</span>=<span class="hljs-string">"activate"</span>>Inside frame</div> </code><button class="copy-btn btn btn-secondary btn-sm" onclick="copyCode(this,'code_1')">Copy</button></pre><p>Page containing the frame (<code>page-containing-frame.html</code>):</p><pre><code id="code_3" class="hljs language-bash"><iframe src=<span class="hljs-string">"test.html"</span> name=<span class="hljs-string">"target-iframe"</span>></iframe> <a href=<span class="hljs-string">"test.html#activate"</span> target=<span class="hljs-string">"target-iframe"</span> onclick=<span class="hljs-string">"frames['target-iframe'].document.getElementById('activate') .scrollIntoView();return false"</span>>Click</a> ^ That<span class="hljs-string">'s the link. I'</span>ve <span class="hljs-built_in">split</span> up code over multiple lines <span class="hljs-keyword">for</span> visibility </code><button class="copy-btn btn btn-secondary btn-sm" onclick="copyCode(this,'code_3')">Copy</button></pre><h3>Explanation</h3><ul><li>The frame has a <strong><code>name</code> attrbute</strong> with the value of <code>target-iframe</code> (obviously, you can choose any desired value).</li><li><p>The link contains three attributes, each supporting two methods to scroll to a link in the frame:</p><a name='more'></a><ol><li><code>target="target-iframe"</code> and <code>href="test.html#activate"</code> This is the fallback method, in case of an error occurs, or if the user has disabled JavaScript. The target of the link is the frame, the <strong><code>href</code></strong> attribute <strong>must</strong> be the path of the frame, postfixed by the anchor, eg <code>test.hrml#activate</code>. This method will cause the framed page to <strong>reload</strong>. Also, if the anchor is already at <code>#activate</code>, this method will not work any more.</li><li>This is the elegant solution, which shold not fail. The desired frame is accessed through the global <code>frames</code> object (by name, NOT by id, <code>target-iframe</code>). Then, the anchor is selected (<code>document.getElementById('activate')</code>. Finally, the <a rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/element.scrollIntoView"><code>scrollIntoView</code></a> method is used to move the element inside the viewport. The <code>onclick</code> method ends with <code>return false</code>, so that the default behaviour (ie following the link, causing a page refresh), does not happen.</li></ol></li></ul><p>Your current code did not work, because of the missing <code>name</code> attribute (<a rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Element/a#attr-target"><code>target="..."</code></a> cannot match IDs, only names). Also, <code>#activate</code> is parsed in the context of the current page, so, the link points to <code>page-containing-frame.html</code>.</p></div> </div> <div id='baca-juga'></div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var bacaJugaJudul=[],bacaJugaNum=0,bacaJugaUrl=[];function bacaJuga(a){for(var u=0;u<a.feed.entry.length;u++){var e=a.feed.entry[u];bacaJugaJudul[bacaJugaNum]=e.title.$t;for(var l=0;l<e.link.length;l++)if("alternate"==e.link[l].rel){bacaJugaUrl[bacaJugaNum]=e.link[l].href,bacaJugaNum++;break}}}function showBacaJuga(a){function u(a,u){u.parentNode.insertBefore(a,u.nextSibling)}var e=document.querySelector("#baca-juga"),l=document.createElement("div"),t=document.querySelector(".post-body-artikel").querySelectorAll("div > br, span > br, div > p, span > p"),r=Math.ceil(.5*t.length),n=document.getElementById("related"),c=(l.setAttribute("class","baca-juga-wrap"),{bacaJuga:!0,jumlahBacaJuga:3,judulBacaJuga:"Baca Juga"});optionLinkMagz(c);if(!0===c.bacaJuga&&void 0!==t[r]){u(e,null!==n?n:t[r]);for(var g=0;g<bacaJugaUrl.length;g++)bacaJugaUrl[g]==a&&(bacaJugaUrl.splice(g,1),bacaJugaJudul.splice(g,1));var J=Math.floor((bacaJugaJudul.length-1)*Math.random()),g=0;if(0<bacaJugaJudul.length&&0<c.jumlahBacaJuga){e.appendChild(l);n=e;null!=(n=n.previousElementSibling)&&"BR"===n.tagName&&(n.style.display="none");for(var i="<strong>"+c.judulBacaJuga+"</strong><ul>";g<bacaJugaJudul.length&&g<c.jumlahBacaJuga;g++)i+='<li><a href="'+bacaJugaUrl[J]+'">'+bacaJugaJudul[J]+"</a></li>",J<bacaJugaJudul.length-1?J++:J=0;l.innerHTML=i+="</ul>"}}} //]]> </script> <script src='/feeds/posts/summary/-/Html?alt=json-in-script&callback=bacaJuga&max-results=5'></script> <script src='/feeds/posts/summary/-/Iframe?alt=json-in-script&callback=bacaJuga&max-results=5'></script> <script> showBacaJuga("https://savedgdiapers.blogspot.com/2024/01/how-can-i-target-div-inside-iframe.html");
