To clear an element inside an iframe, you can use JavaScript to target the element within the iframe and update its content or remove it altogether. Here is an example of how you can clear an element inside an iframe:

  1. Get a reference to the iframe element:
1
var iframe = document.getElementById('your-iframe-id');


  1. Get a reference to the document inside the iframe:
1
var iframeDoc = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document;


  1. Use JavaScript to clear the element inside the iframe. For example, if you want to clear a div with the id 'content' inside the iframe:
1
2
var elementToClear = iframeDoc.getElementById('content');
elementToClear.innerHTML = '';


This code will clear the content of the element with the id 'content' inside the iframe. You can modify the code to target different elements inside the iframe as needed.
