Trigger events in iframe's parent window

Question

Why is the following not working:

//iframe:
window.parent.$(document).trigger(\'complete\');

//parent window:
$(document).bind(\'complete\', function(){
  a         


        

Answer 1

The way events are tracked, you can only trigger or receive events on the same document.

try

window.parent.$(window.parent.document).trigger('complete');
