Display element outside of iframe

Is it possible to show poshytip from iframe so it is also displaying outside of iframe? Eg. like overflow: visible..

And if not, then how hard would be to display poshytip for parent document and position it relative to my content? What are browser security measures?

NB! Iframe has a fixed height!

Like so:

    +----------------------------+
    |         POSHYTIP           |
    |                            |
    |                            |
    |                            |
    +--\  /----------------------+
+-------\/---------------------------------------------------------+
|             IFRAME BANNER                                        |
|                                                                  |
|                                                                  |
+------------------------------------------------------------------+

Cheers!

Solution

  • This is not possible. An iFrame is in essence a separate browser window inside document that references other pages. (As you said, it's an advertisement banner module.)

    You'll have to place the tooltip to reference the iframe itself if you want a tooltip.
