I am trying to access iframe's contentDocument and contentWindow in following code. But they both are null.
var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
this.get__domElement$i().appendChild(iframe);
if (iframe.contentDocument) {
iframe.contentDocument.write("Hello");
}
else if (iframe.contentWindow) {
iframe.contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML = "Hello";
}
Can someone tell me whats wrong in this? Thanks
When i do Document.Body.AppendChild(iframe), then contentDocument and contentWindow are non null.
Can someone tell me whats wrong when i append the iframe to div?
Thanks a lot.

Reset to default 4I know that this is a bit late, but i was researching this and stumbled on your question:
I got the same error as you, because the div i was trying to append the iframe to wasn't loaded yet when i was trying to append the iframe. If the div is loaded your code works:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id='test' >
</div>
<script>
var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
var myDiv = document.getElementById('test');
myDiv.appendChild(iframe);
if (iframe.contentDocument) {
iframe.contentDocument.write("Hello");
}
else if (iframe.contentWindow) {
iframe.contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML = "Hello";
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Here is a jsFiddle with this working code and another with the tag in the giving an error TypeError: Cannot call method 'appendChild' of null .
