accessing content of an <IFRAME>

[Richie]

I have a situation where I'd like to read/parse the content
of a file I've read into an <IFRAME>. I've looked through
various FAQs and searched forums, and the closest I get to
accessing the file content is

myIframe.conten tWindow.documen t.body.innerHTM L

where myIframe is the node from getElementById( ). But while
I can see the content of the file on my web page, I get an
empty string from the above reference. How do I get to the
file?

Thanks for any help.

if myIframe is the IFrame itself, you only need
myIframe.docume nt.body.innerHT ML.

But that won't give you the *entire* document, and it also "normalizes " it.

If the document is in the same domain, you can even look into the
HTTPRequestObje ct <URL: http://jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_38>

Good luck with it.

This post I did earlier might help.
