Ah I missed your rewrite when commenting. Looks a lot better \o/. Though, I still see the ( iframe.contentWindow || iframe.contentDocument ).document, if the iframe.contentDocument side is used it would be like doing document.document and should return undefined for the iframe document.
I think some browsers barf when not passing something like null as the second argument of getComputedStyle, Also I think you should avoid window.getComputedStyle and instead store a reference to elem.ownerDocument.defaultView in a var so it can be reused throughout the snippet.
display === "false" should be display == "".
I understand that this is very very old code, however it was helpful in one scenario I believe.
Background: jQuery version 2.1.3 (https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.3.js) has following snippet:
iframe = (iframe || jQuery( "<iframe frameborder='0' width='0' height='0'/>" )).appendTo( doc.documentElement );
Can I replace it with following code (from your example)
if ( !iframe ) {
iframe = document.createElement( "iframe" );
iframe.frameBorder = iframe.width = iframe.height = 0;
}
doc.documentElement.appendChild( iframe );
The purpose is very strange, in short, web firewall's stupid rule is preventing jQuery code to be executed saying that this is an iframe injection. Will the snippet serve the original purpose?
Please let me know.
Thank you.
You’re forgetting IE support. Also see this for other considerations. I think this technique requires moar testing.
