The Window.frameElement
property returns the element (such as <iframe>
or <object>
) in which the window is embedded.
Note: Despite this property's name, it works for documents embedded within any embedding point, including <object>
, <iframe>
, or <embed>
.
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.
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/";
}
