iFrame innerHTML

[PrateekSaxena]

Hi,I am trying to get the innerHTML of an iFrame. But when I alert the iFrameId.innerHTML then I am able to see the result on IE 6.0 but not on FF 2.0.0.3. do you have any idea why this is happening?

now IE is also not working, it show Access Denied

var html = document.frames['iframeName'].document.body.innerHTML

should work in all browsers.But it only works on pages in the same domain. You cannot load Google for example and get the innerHTML. This is a security measure of all browsers.

Cant I change it for some time. I mean this setting.How do I do it for FF, I figured out for IE

[aspnetguy]

nope it is hard coded into every browser. If you could do this you could change anything about the site and fool people into giving to information, etc.

can i access the DOM tree (or raw html) in a frame (not iframe)? i mean i just want to get information from the remote sites, not changing (not it's nothing different, i guess)

Use a server side language (e.g. file_get_contents() in PHP). You could use that in conjunction with AJAX to call a page via JavaScript.
