Problem accessing external iframe form values

[skywalk3r]

Hi, I'm getting sick trying to solve this problem:

I have a web page A that loads another page B using an iframe (or an
object tag), the B page is an external page (it's not on my server)
and contains a form.

I want to be able to auto fill the form with pre-defined values. In
jquery i think it's impossible due to security reasons, somebody can
help me?!?!

I hope I explained the problem correctly, if you need more info just
tell me.
Thanks,

[James-279]

I believe that it's not possible, in general, as you said due to
security reasons.

It isn't possible. iframes abide by the same origin policy just as ajax requests do.

if you know the ids of the elements you want to auto-fill you can try this

$("iframe").contents().find("#element_id").val("hello");

Slts.
