Insert HTML into iframe

This problem bugged me too and finally found solution.

Its late but will add value to other visitors who might need proper fix.

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Iframe test</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js">
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function() {
            var $frame = $('<iframe style="width:200px; height:100px;">');
            $('body').html( $frame );
            setTimeout( function() {
                var doc = $frame[0].contentWindow.document;
                var $body = $('body',doc);
                $body.html('<h1>Test</h1>');
            }, 1 );
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

You can do it all on one line with jquery

$("iframe").contents().find('html').html("Your new HTML");

See working demo here http://jsfiddle.net/dWpvf/972/

Replace "iframe" with "#render" for your example. I left in "iframe" so that other users can reference the answer.
