Using Javascript to manipulate items inside an iFrame?

[Enigmabomb]

Hey Guys,

Let's say I have a frame, of an iFrame. Could I replace every instance of X with Y inside the frame?

Thanks,

Josh

This is a fucking disaster of a thing to do apparently. Javascript will only let you do it for files local to the script. You're not getting the source of anything thats on Http://

F.

You'd probably have a better time of it if you can use curl to get the page and instead of an iframe, put the contents in a div and use innerHTML to change it.

Not a bad idea. There are cookies involved so Im trying to get the client to fetch the page.

Is the iframe contained on the same domain? If not then the same domain policy won't let you get access to it.

Not on the same domain. Fucking java script is useless.
