Question

javascript: getting the id of the parent from a document

Answer 1

A:

Assuming the frame is on the same domain as the parent, you can use .frameElement to get a reference to the containing iframe. If it's not on the same domain, security restrictions will prevent you from accessing the parent document.

var frameId = window.frameElement.id;

Answer 2

A:

add a name attribute to the iframe. Then you should be able to call window.name in javascript.

e.g.

<html>
    <head></head>
    <body>
        <iframe id="iframe1" name="iframe1" src="x.html">
        </iframe> 
   </body>
</html>

x.html

<html>         
     <head></head>
        <body>
          <script type="text/javascript">alert(window.name);</script>
        </body>
</html>
