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.
