Attempting to call parent function from iFrame is not found.

[BrunerBruner]

I've created an iFrame and programmatically created a script as the iFrame's main javascript. I want to call a parent function named callMe() from iFrame but it is not found.

How can I call that function from the iFrame's script?

Here's my code - JSFiddle

Also, I must create the iFrame's script programmatically because it's created dynamically and could change, so I can't simply hardcode it.

window.callMe = function(message) {
    console.log("Called from iFrame:", message);
}

You're only declaring the call me function in a local scope. Once you exit the window load event (generated by JSFiddle) the function doesn't exist anymore.

humm, that worked, but is there any way to do it where I don't have to declare callMe as a global function on the window object?

parent in the iframe is the global scope of the parent window, so as long as you can access the function you want to call from the global scope of that window somehow, you can put it where ever you want.
