In order to get the document object of an iframe, you can use the contentWindow or contentDocument property of the iframe element. Here's an example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Get document object of iframe</title>
</head>
<body>
<iframe id="myIframe" src="https://www.example.com"></iframe>
<script>
var iframe = document.getElementById('myIframe');
var iframeDoc = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document;
// Now you can access the document object of the iframe
console.log(iframeDoc);
</script>
</body>
</html>

In the script section, we first select the iframe element using document.getElementById('myIframe'). Then we check if the iframe has a contentDocument property, if not we fallback to using contentWindow.document. This will give you access to the document object of the iframe, which you can then use to manipulate its contents.
