To change the content of a website loaded in an iframe, you can use JavaScript to manipulate the content of the iframe element. Here are the steps you can follow to achieve this:

  1. Get a reference to the iframe element: You can use document.getElementById() or document.querySelector() to select the iframe element.
  2. Access the content Window of the iframe: Once you have the reference to the iframe element, you can access its content Window to manipulate its contents. You can do this by using the contentWindow property of the iframe element.
  3. Access the document of the iframe: Once you have accessed the content Window of the iframe, you can access its document object to make changes to the content of the iframe.
  4. Make changes to the content of the iframe: You can now use JavaScript to make any desired changes to the content of the iframe. This can include modifying the HTML structure, updating text content, changing styles, or any other manipulation you want to perform.

// Get a reference to the iframe element
var iframe = document.getElementById('myIframe');

// Access the content Window of the iframe
var iframeWindow = iframe.contentWindow;

// Access the document of the iframe
var iframeDocument = iframeWindow.document;

// Make changes to the content of the iframe
// For example, changing the text content of a paragraph element inside the iframe
var paragraph = iframeDocument.getElementById('myParagraph');
paragraph.textContent = 'New content for the paragraph';

// You can also modify the HTML structure by creating new elements, appending them to the document, or removing existing elements


By following these steps and using JavaScript to manipulate the content of the website loaded in the iframe, you can dynamically change the content displayed on your webpage.
