If your iframe is in the same domain as your parent page you can access the elements using document frames collection      replace myIFrame with your iFrame id    replace myIFrameElemId with your iFrame s element id    you can work on document frames  myIFrame   document like you are working on    normal document object in JS window frames  myIFrame   document getElementById  myIFrameElemId     If your iframe is not in the same domain the browser should prevent such access for security reasons
