I have xthml page with an iframe that has src="dynamic-source" for a wysiwyg editor... ok not drupal... I'm trying to style the content inside the iframe from the page that contains the iframe. The browser sees the iframe as a separate frame therefore a separate page. As the iframe content is dynamic, I cannot include the css on the iframe's src page... There must be a way to apply css style to the iframe content from the page that contains the iframe... ANY hits would be awesome!! thanks :)

I was wondering about this myself for styling amazon product links. You can't do it with css alone, but apparently you can do it with javascript. See here:

Note that the javascript goes into the framed page, so you must have control over that page as well as the parent page.

The way to go is to do a

, point it to a url that delivers javascript encoded html. It can be a dynamic page. So I made a php page that checks the user session var to see if the person is logged in and if so it shows login details, otherwise it shows a login block. I use a little php function that encodes a string in javascript so the last thing i do is encode my html and voila.

This lets you insert css in to the iframe with out having to edit the iframe

function populateIframe() {
var ifrm = document.getElementById('myIframe');
ifrm = (ifrm.contentWindow) ? ifrm.contentWindow : (ifrm.contentDocument.document) ? ifrm.contentDocument.document : ifrm.contentDocument;
ifrm.document.open();
ifrm.document.write('Hello World!');
ifrm.document.close();
}

Unfortunately it seems to be very difficult to use css or javascript/jquery to manipulate items that are inside an embedded iframe from a different domain name. There are security issues when you have a webpage with an iframe and they come from two different domains.

You need to set css to your iframe. In xhtml it's like <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://yourdomain/style.css" /> in <head> tag. If it's possible then include css file to your iframe.
