jQuery iFrame - A JQuery Plugin

This is jQuery iFrame, a plugin to help you set iframe source and squirt content into iframes, by Michael Mahemoff, under MIT License. It gives you a callback so you know when the frame has been loaded, tells you how long it took to load, and provides timeout support.

Demo

API

$("iframe").src(url, optionalCallback, options); $("iframe").squirt(html, optionalCallback, options);

Options are:

• timeout will be called some time (according to timeoutDuration) after the iframe started loading, if the iframe hasn't yet finished loading. Use "this" to access iFrame. (Note: If you want to abort loading on timeout, you should do it manually in this function, e.g. "this.src=null".)
• timeoutDuration Timeout duration, used in conjunction with options.timeout. (Defaults to 60000, i.e. one minute.)

Caveats

• Due to cross-domain restrictions, "squirt" can only be used with an iframe whose source is either null or pointing to the same domain as the parent document.

Usage

$("<iframe/>").src("http://google.com").appendTo("body");

$("iframe").squirt("a <em>little</em> content");

$("iframe").src("http://google.com", function(iframe, duration) { 
  alert("That took " + duration + " millis.");
}, {
  timeout: function() { alert("oops! timed out."); },
  timeoutDuration: 10000
});
