access content of a remote page in iframe

[sina_izad]

hi there
i was wondering if it is possible to place a frame or an iframe on a page with a remote src and then access DOM objects of that page from main window to edit.

say <iframe src="http://www.google.com"></iframe> and then read all the innerHTML inside iframe and write that to a div.

for examle:
<script>
function change() { ht=window.frames[0].document.getElementById('innerdiv').innerHTML;
document.getElementById('outerdiv').innerHTML = ht
}
</script>

<button onclick = "change()">press</button>
<frame src="http://www.google.com" frameborder = "1"></frame>
<div id= "outerdiv"></div>

thanks

You can't do that sorry.

edit: I should elaborate...

You cannot in any browser access html code (excluding javascript) of a page with a different domain and subdomain. If you could, no end user would be safe.

The most you can do is this...

<script type="text/javascript" src="different domain"></script>
