<iframe id="iView" style="width:200px;height:200px;"></iframe>
<a href="#" onclick="func();">click</a>

After click, Firefox returns [object HTMLDocument]. Internet Explorer returns undefined.
How can I select the iView element with Internet Explorer? Thanks.

The cross-browser equivalent to contentDocument (including Firefox itself, where contentDocument does work) is contentWindow.document.
So try:
alert(document.getElementById('iView').contentWindow.document);
contentWindow gets you a reference to the iframe's window object, and of course .document is just the DOM Document object for the iframe.
Here's an article that summarizes better.

From this page:
Mozilla supports the W3C standard of accessing iframe's document object through IFrameElm.contentDocument, while Internet Explorer requires you to access it through document.frames["name"] and then access the resulting document.
So you need to detect the browser and on IE do something like this instead:
document.frames['iView'].document;
