To add an event listener to an iframe, you can use the contentWindow property of the iframe element to access the window object of the iframe content and then attach an event listener to it. Here is an example using JavaScript:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
// Get the iframe element
var iframe = document.getElementById('myIframe');

// Add Event Listener to the iframe content's window object
iframe.contentWindow.addEventListener('load', function() {
   console.log('Iframe content loaded');
});


In this example, the 'load' event listener is added to the iframe content's window object. You can replace 'load' with any other event you want to listen for, such as 'click', 'scroll', etc.
