jquery - Call parent Javascript function from inside an iframe

Question

I have a iframe (in my domain), that iframe has a file iframe.js.

My parent document has a file parent.js.

I need to call a function that is in parent.js, from a function that is in iframe.js.

I tried doing window.parent.myfunction() this function is in the parent.js file.

But, it didn't work. Only when I put the function on the parent page (I mean in the HTML), then it worked.

Any idea how to get this to work?

Answer 1

Try just parent.myfunction(). Also be 100% sure that the parent.js is included in your parent document.
