Getting IFRAME text

[Aaron Gray]

<iframe name="iframe" width="100%" height="25%" src="test1.txt" >
</iframe>

<a href="test1.txt " target="input"> one</a>
<a href="test2.txt " target="input"> two</a>

<form name="form1">
<textarea name="textarea" cols=80 rows=18>
This is a test
</textarea><br>
<button name="Copy" value="Copy" OnClick="DoCopy ()">Copy</button>
</form>

<script>

function DoCopy()
{
form1.textarea. value=iframe.in nerText;
}
</script>

> Don't listen to what V'often wrong'K is telling you. There is nothing

wrong in using such names, there is no known side effect in any language
or UA. What is true is that it is a Good Thing to choose names with
meaning; for example, the `textarea' element could be named according
to its expected content.

Yes they are different namespaces.

This does not deal with getting the text from a text document
in an iframe which is what I was after.

Try referenceToIfra me.document.bod y.firstChild.fi rstChild.nodeVa lue in
Mozilla/5.0.
WFM in Firefox 1.0.7/Linux as an iframe with a plaintext
resource is made available through an embedded HTML document with a
`pre' element containing the resource's content.

referenceToIfra me.document.bod y.firstChild.fi rstChild.nodeVa lue

Works in IE too :)

Thanks.

Nice :) However it is not supposed to work in IE/Windows < 5.0 and I'm
not sure about IE/Mac either. W3C DOM support was introduced in IE pretty
late, so you should definitely feature-test it on run time.
Thanks.

You're welcome.

Just joking :)

I did think when I wrote that post that the context was odd.
