Question

I have one html openning inside an iframe.One javaScript function is defined there say getSomething().Now in the parent page I have one external javaScript file.Is it possible for me to access getSomething() from the external javaScript file ?

possible duplicate of call javascript function from outside an iframe. Please do not re-ask the same question if you don't get a suitable answer to the first. — Andy E

As long as both URLs are from the same domain, you can do it. Try calling something similar to the following from the external script file:

document.getElementByID("ReferringiFrame").getSomething();
