Unified Answer :

In order to work on all modern browsers, you will need two steps:

1. Add javascript:void(0); as src attribute for the iframe element. Otherwise the content will be overriden by the empty src on Firefox.

   <iframesrc="javascript:void(0);"></iframe>

2. Programatically change the content of the inner html element.

   $(iframeSelector).contents().find('html').html(htmlContent);

Solution 4:

I needed to reuse the same iframe and replace the content each time. I've tried a few ways and this worked for me:

// Set the iframe's src to about:blank so that it conforms to the same-origin policy 
iframeElement.src = "about:blank";

// Set the iframe's new HTML
iframeElement.contentWindow.document.open();
iframeElement.contentWindow.document.write(newHTML);
iframeElementcontentWindow.document.close();

Here it is as a function:

functionreplaceIframeContent(iframeElement, newHTML)
{
    iframeElement.src = "about:blank";
    iframeElement.contentWindow.document.open();
    iframeElement.contentWindow.document.write(newHTML);
    iframeElement.contentWindow.document.close();
}

Solution 5:

$('#myiframe').contents().find('html').html(s);
