To run a JavaScript code over an iframe, you can use the contentWindow property of the iframe element to access the window object of the iframe content and then execute your JavaScript code. 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>Run JavaScript over an iframe</title>
</head>
<body>
<iframe id="myIframe" src="https://www.example.com"></iframe>
<script>
var iframe = document.getElementById('myIframe');
var iframeWindow = iframe.contentWindow;
// Run JavaScript code over the iframe
iframeWindow.addEventListener('load', function() {
iframeWindow.alert('This is an alert from the iframe content');
});
</script>
</body>
</html>

In this example, we are getting the reference to the iframe element using getElementById and then accessing the contentWindow property to get the window object of the iframe content. We are then using addEventListener to listen for the 'load' event of the iframe content and then executing an alert from the iframe content window.
Please note that you may encounter cross-origin restrictions when trying to access the content of an iframe from a different domain. Make sure that the iframe content is served from the same domain or that the appropriate CORS headers are set to allow the access.
