# jQuery - contents( ) Method

# Description:

The contents( ) method finds all the child nodes inside the matched elements (including text nodes), or the content document, if the element is an iframe.

# Syntax:

Here is the simple syntax to use this method:

    selector.contents( )

## Parameters:

Here is the description of all the parameters used by this method:

- NA

# Example:

Consider you have a blank html file index-blank.htm which we would use in an iframe.

Try the following example which shows how you can access the objects in an iframe from a parent window. This operation has become possible just because of contents() method.

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>the title</title>
       <script type="text/javascript"
       src="/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
    <script>
      $(document).ready(function(){
        var $content = $("iframe").contents();
        $content.find("body").append("I'm in an iframe!");
      });
      </script>

    </head>
    <body>
      <iframe src="/jquery/index-blank.htm" width="300" height="100">
      </iframe>
    </body>
    </html>

To understand it in better way you can Try it yourself.
