Click in iframe register parent window
Question by Zolka
I have a webpage where I have an Iframe. When someone clicks something in the Iframe I want to detect it in the parent window.
I see there are similar threads in the forum but no one solved my issue.

You need to use the jQuery .contents() method to retrieve the contents of the iFrame, and then search within that for your .click1 elements.
See the following jQuery code (works in v1.7 up):
$('#1_iframe').load(function() {
$(this).contents().find('#myGrid').on('click', '.click1', function() {
alert('Click detected!');
});
});
EDIT: Wrapped it in a .load() event handler.

Attach a event on the iframe
$(document).click(fucntion(e) {
var targ = e.currentTarget();
//Now send this to the parent function
parent.NewClick(targ);
});
Now the NewClick() function in the parent window, will know which button was clicked.
