Why is iframe.contentWindow == null?

by

I had this problem last week while playing with iframes (building an rtf editor), and yeah it’s not ready yet.

I thought if I put it in a .ready(), it would work, but .ready() is when the DOM is ready, not when the iframe has loaded its contents, so I ended up wrapping my code with jQuery .load().

So try this:

$(function () {  
    $("#myiframe").load(function () {                        
        frames["myframe"].document.body.innerHTML = htmlValue;
    });
});

Hope this helps
