How to get the element inside an iframe dynamically by hovering the iframe
I need to get the element which is inside the iframe by hovering over the element for example if the button is available inside the iframe means i need to get the button element.
I have used query selector (:hover) to get the hovered element but I am able to get the elements upto iframe only from the top document. I cannot able to get the element inside the iframe.
Has any one come across this?

It is restricted by CORS (so generally you can not observe widgets included from 3rd-party sites this way), but otherwise doable in recent browsers, you just have to work with the contentWindow of the iframe, and perhaps use elementFromPoint().
Example frame.html:
<div>Test1</div>
<div>Test2</div>
<div>Test3</div>
<div>Test4</div>
<div>Test5</div>
And containing test.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>TODO supply a title</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<script>
function startup(){
frame.contentWindow.document.addEventListener("click",function(event){
frame.contentWindow.document
.elementFromPoint(event.clientX,event.clientY).innerHTML+="!";
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="startup()">
<iframe id="frame" width="300" height="200" src="frame.html"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
Click on the elements of the iframe and their content will get appended with exclamation marks.

It is restricted by CORS (so generally you can not observe widgets included from 3rd-party sites this way), but otherwise doable in recent browsers, you just have to work with the contentWindow of the iframe, and perhaps use elementFromPoint().
Example frame.html:
<div>Test1</div>
<div>Test2</div>
<div>Test3</div>
<div>Test4</div>
<div>Test5</div>
And containing test.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>TODO supply a title</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<script>
function startup(){
frame.contentWindow.document.addEventListener("click",function(event){
frame.contentWindow.document
.elementFromPoint(event.clientX,event.clientY).innerHTML+="!";
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="startup()">
<iframe id="frame" width="300" height="200" src="frame.html"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
Click on the elements of the iframe and their content will get appended with exclamation marks.
