Menu
I know that Chrome let's you pick the context for the console's execution with a dropdown menu and that Firebug let's you cd() into an iframe. I can't figure out how to change the context in Safari's console. Does anyone know how to do this?

To do that, go into Safari's preferences (Safari Menu > Preferences) and select the Advanced Tab. Once that menu is enabled, you will find the developer console by clicking on Develop > Show Javascript Console. You can also use the shortcut Option + ⌘ + C .
Using switchTo().defaultContent() The switchTo(). defaultContent() method will switch focus to the first frame on the page. In the case of iFrames, the context is switched back to the main (or Parent) document.
Open the Settings app on your iPhone. Scroll down until you see "Safari," and tap it. At the bottom of the page, tap "Advanced." On the Advanced page, turn JavaScript on by swiping the button to the right.
Safari, unlike chrome and firefox, has no real support for this functionality and the only option seems to be to access the window object from the console. As you correctly point this will trigger cross domain policy issues, however provided you're running on mac (this does not work for some reason on windows) you can use
open -a '/Applications/Safari.app' --args --disable-web-security
to bypass this. And next on your jsbin you could use something along the lines of
window.frames[0]
to access the window of the page. As far as I can see there is no similar solution for windows, as
Safari.exe --disable-web-security
apparantly does not work.
