I just did a quick/dirty test locally and was able to manipulate the iframe
from the parent document. Using code like:
<div id="trigger">Show Alert</div>
<iframe id="myFrame" name="myFrame" src="page.html"></iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#trigger').click(function(){
var myFrameDoc = frames['myFrame'].document;
alert( $('a',myFrameDoc).css('background','#000').length )
})
</script>
I used the click event just to make sure the iframe's document had loaded
(you obviously can't access it until it's there). I haven't tested the
.load() method on an iframe.

Hi, all!
Before i open up a can of worms which i don't want to deal with, i
thought i'd ask:
Are there any special concerns for using jquery in conjunction with
iframes? e.g. if i embed a sub-page within an iframe, can the top-
level page's jq still query/manipulate that sub-page's content
normally?
Your insights would be appreciated.
