Read Frame Content

[wsjb78]

Is there a way JS can read out the content of another frame window into a variable (if the source URL of that frame site is not known)?

[AdamBrill]

Yes...

the_var_name=top.framename.document.documentElement.innerHTML;

Is it that simple? I have no idea regarding JS... I normally use PHP...

Situation is the following:

1.) I load a page in a frame2
2.) I have PHP to autologin
3.) I get redirected to a page like www.domain.com/?sid=xyz
4.) Data is being displayed in that frame

However I cannot access that data with a url with a non-valid sessionid

so I have frame1 autoreloaded and hope to fetch the data with JS as you have supplied....

so if I can fetch the data in a variable I can then autosubmit this data to a PHP script where I can necessary processes start.

don't see why you can't ..:-)

Well, that seems to work but now I have to look for some JS to auto submit a form (and have it then handled by PHP to send me an SMS upon certain entries)...

Thx for the help so far! You guys rock!

You could submit a form like this:

top.framename.document.formname.submit();

Is that what you wanted?

I guess that should do the trick... will try out today and tomorrow... thx for the help... if you need help regarding PHP let me know!
