Highlight element in parent window from iframe

[mauserzjeh]

Is there a way to highlight an element in a parent window from an iframe.

Scenario:

• An embeddable widget is loaded on a webpage through javascript
• When certain conditions are met an element is highlighted on the webpage, despite the iframe having the code which drives the tour or highlight functionality

Actually using window.parent.document.getElementById (or any other function to retrieve the element) works. What I haven't manage to do yet is that the widget and the iframe has a very small size and it blocks the highlight to be displayed on the whole page
