To handle nested iframes using JavaScript, you can access the content of the innermost iframe by traversing through the parent iframes. Here is a sample code snippet to demonstrate how to access the content of nested iframes:

// Access the outermost iframe
var outerIframe = document.getElementById('outerIframe');

// Access the content window of the outermost iframe
var outerIframeContent = outerIframe.contentWindow;

// Access the innermost iframe within the outermost iframe
var innerIframe = outerIframeContent.document.getElementById('innerIframe');

// Access the content window of the innermost iframe
var innerIframeContent = innerIframe.contentWindow;

// Access elements inside the innermost iframe and perform operations
var innerIframeElement = innerIframeContent.document.getElementById('innerElement');
innerIframeElement.style.color = 'red';


In this code snippet, we first access the outermost iframe by its ID and then access its content window. We then access the innermost iframe within the outermost iframe and access its content window. Finally, we can access elements inside the innermost iframe and perform any desired operations.


Make sure to handle any cross-origin restrictions that may prevent accessing the content of iframes from different domains.
