Detect click event inside iframe

I'm writing a plugin for TinyMCE and have a problem with detecting click events inside an iframe.

From my search I've come up with this:

Loading iframe:

<iframe src='resource/file.php?mode=tinymce' id='filecontainer'></iframe>

HTML inside iframe:

<input type=button id=choose_pics value='Choose'>

jQuery:

//Detect click
$("#filecontainer").contents().find("#choose_pic").click(function(){
    //do something      
});

Other posts I've seen usually have a problem with different domains (this hasn't). But, still, the event isn't detected.

Can something like this be done?

Solution

  • I solved it by doing like this:

    $('#filecontainer').load(function(){

        var iframe = $('#filecontainer').contents();

        iframe.find("#choose_pics").click(function(){
               alert("test");
        });
});
