Window: frameElement property - Web APIs | MDN
Window: frameElement property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The Window.frameElement property
returns the element (such as <iframe> or <object>)
in which the window is embedded.
Value
The element which the window is embedded into. If the window isn't embedded into
another document, or if the document into which it's embedded has a different
origin, the value is null instead.
Examples
js
const frameEl = window.frameElement;
// If we're embedded, change the containing element's URL to 'https://mozilla.org/'
if (frameEl) {
frameEl.src = "https://mozilla.org/";
}
