ShwetaA

Hi All,

I am developing an app wherer I am loading websites in iframe. & on mouseover on that site/iframe anywhere, it should give me the src of an element on which mouse over is done...

I am writing a jquery as,

//on HTML Mouse over
$(function() {
$("#main_frame").mouseover(function() {
prevElement = null;
curElement = window.event.srcElement.tagName;
window.status = curElement;
});
});

& HTML Part where the URL will be loaded is
<div id="netframe">
<iframe height="100%" width="100%" class="netframe" src="#" id="main_frame" name="content">
</iframe>
</div>

But thi sis not working, it gives a me src of only iframe, but not of its content site.
Please help.
Regards
Shweta

you would need to add the event handler in the framed site, not the framing site.

How can we do that? Cause the target loading site can be anything....
As well, when I am trying to do something like this,

var collAll = document.frames("main_frame").document.all;
alert(collAll);

Its giving me Access denied error.
Please help.

no, it cannot. it has to be a document you created and published.

javascript won't allow you to manipulate or even read documents on other domains, with a few opt-in exceptions.
