Is the source of the iframe on the same domain as the page that's showing it?

There are some restrictions on how you can use iframes. If the sources doesn't belong to the same domain, you're pretty much locked out of making any changes to it. If it is, however, then you can access the iframe document through Javascript and make whatever changes are needed.

Place this code in your main index.html document:

<iframe src="iframe.html" width="400px" height="600px" frameborder="0"></iframe>


And this one for your "iframe.html":
<body bgcolor="#ff3000">
text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here text here </body>
