How to synchronize scrolling positions for several iframes

Question

While this works for divs, it does not work for iframes.

Here’s what you can do,

$($('#iframe1').contents()).scroll(function(){
    $($('#iframe2').contents()).scrollTop($(this).scrollTop());
});

With jQuery’s scroll event, you should be able to synchronize them.

Edit: No plugins required. Here’s the code that worked for me:

<html>
<head>
<SCRIPT language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/762274/jquery-1.3.2.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT>
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#div1").scroll(function () { 
        $("#div2").scrollTop($("#div1").scrollTop());
        $("#div2").scrollLeft($("#div1").scrollLeft());
    });
$("#div2").scroll(function () { 
        $("#div1").scrollTop($("#div2").scrollTop());
        $("#div1").scrollLeft($("#div2").scrollLeft());
    });

});

</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>
<div id="div1" style="overflow:auto;height:100px;width:200px;border:1px solid black;">
