jquery select iframe children


I am using the editArea library and jquery to do what i need...



http://www.cdolivet.com/index.php?page=editArea&sess=2b8243f679e0d472397bfa959e1d3841



so in my html there is an iframe tag that editArea uses what i need is to access something like so with jquery




$('iframe textarea').keydown(function (e){
number = 17; //any number really :)
if(e.which == number){
//do something...
alert('Done...');
}
});



I tried the above but it looks like it is not detecting that key. but it works if selector was $(document) therefore the rest of the function works it's just it's not picking up the iframes textarea keydown



any ideas? Thanks

  1. $("iframe").contents().find("textarea").keydown(...)

  2. You need search within the inner document of the iframe, in order to get the textarea element:

    var textarea = $('textarea', $('iframe').get(0).contentWindow.document);
    textarea.keydown(function (e){
    var number = 17;
    var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);

    if(code == number){
    //do something...
    alert('Done...');
    }
    });

  3. You need to access the iframes contentWindow.document, not the iframe itself.

  5. You should be doing



    iframeDoc = document.getElementById('resultsFrame').contentWindow;
    // result frame is id of iframe
    $(iframeDoc).keydown(function(e))
    {
    // your functionality here
    }

  6. You can travel any level, The above answers are correct. I did as below

    var iframeMain = $("#iframe0").contents().find('#iframeMain');
    var detailsForm = $(iframeMain).contents().find('#detailsform');


    for accessing parents you can use

    window.parent.parent. // upto any level

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
