Answer 1

If all else fails, I ended up getting the above to work by wrapping in this function:

$(window).blur(function () {
  // genius code here
}

Answer 2

Below code helped me.

$(document).ready(function(){
var iFrameDOM = $("iframe#frameID").contents();

iFrameDOM.find(".page").css("background-color", "#fff");

});

Answer 3

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...');
    }
});

Answer 4

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 

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

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