I tried: $(document).ready(function(){alert( $("iframe body").text());}); but that results with null

Due to cross-domain scripting security issues, you can only alter contents of an iframe if it generates from your same domain (so if your site is www.mysite.com, the iframe needs to be loading content from mysite.com). Also, in your example there, you're trying to alter the text on document.ready, but you said your iframe was created dynamically (after page load?), so just be sure that you're not trying to change the text until after the iframe loads.

It's on the same domain... How do I make sure i wait for the iFrame?

Use `$("iframe").load()`

What would that do? $("iframe").load()
