jQuery - Change content of an element

[RichardG]

I'm trying to change the content of an element from withing an iframe.

If I use this:

$('body').replaceWith("hi");
then the content of the iframe is replaced correctly.

However when I try to access the parent document it doesn't work. I've been using this code:

$('body', window.parent.document).replaceWith("hi");

What is the correct way to do this? I've tried many tutorials online but nothing seems to be working.

Hi no it didn't. I tried using:

$('#menu', window.parent.document).html("hi");

My understanding is that this code would go to the top parent and look for the element with ID 'menu' and would then replace it's contents with "hi".

Is that right?

I guess the iframe behaves differently
