select a element in iframe with jQuery

Question

For example:

<html><body><object data="" id="something"></object></body></html>

How can i select a tag in this object? Tks ^^

In title you talk about iframe in the question about the object. Do you mean selecting an element in the iframe from its parent (the html page containing the iframe) ? — t.niese

You need to get the iframe contents first to apply selector on it. You can use jQuery contents() function to get.

var objSomething = $('#iframeID').contents().find('#something');

You should call this script when iframe is loaded. You can use window.load to ensure that.

$(window).load(function(){
   var objSomething = $('#iframeID').contents().find('#something');
   alert(objSomething[0].id);
});
