We have alternate text, alt attribute, for an img tag in HTML, which will show up when the image doesn't come up. I tried using the tag with iframe too.
<iframe src="www.abc.com" alt="Web site is not avaialable">
But the alternate text doesn't come up when src="" is given. Just wanted to know if I can achieve alternate text in any other way, if the src is not given ?
Since my first attempt misunderstood your question, let's try this instead:
<script>
$(function () {
$("iframe").not(":has([src])").each(function () {
var ifrm = this;
ifrm = (ifrm.contentWindow) ? ifrm.contentWindow : (ifrm.contentDocument.document) ? ifrm.contentDocument.document : ifrm.contentDocument;
ifrm.document.open();
ifrm.document.write($(this).attr("alt"));
ifrm.document.close();
});
});
</script>
This will read the "alt" tag value for any iframe with either no src attribute or a src attribute with a blank value, and write the alt text into the body of that iframe.
