Two helper methods for retrieving the document and window objects.

doc-and-win

A jQuery plugin that adds two helper methods to retrieve the window and document objects. When called on an iframe, it returns the iframe's document or window (depending on the method you used). When called on an element, it returns the element's parent document or window. If a document object is passed in, it returns itself or the window it belongs to. If a window object is passed in, it returns the document of the window or itself.

Both the .doc() and .win() methods return the document or window for each matched element.

This plugin will be best used with jQuery 1.3.3+ which has better support for other windows and documents.

Examples

$('iframe').doc() // iframe document
$('iframe').win() // iframe window

// bind event to a tags in iframe
$('iframe').doc().find('a').click(fn);

$('iframe').doc().find('a').doc() // iframe document

$('p').doc() // return parent document
$('p').win() // return parent window

$(document).doc() // return document
$(document).win() // return document.defaultView || document.parentWindow

$(window).doc() // return window.document
$(window).win() // return window
