Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible or not, I have this page 2 frames. 1 frame I don't control the content, but is always in the same format but w/ different values. I would like to 'read' the information that would be displayed from the other frame, where I could use the data.

Cheers,

Hi darkhalf,

It should be fine to do this client-side if the pages are in the same domain, however if not you will get an "Access Denied" type error with most browsers.

HTH,

Chris

but how would one go about to read the information? I found this, which gives me the html of the page in question, but how could I test for the values? And if the page is not in the same domain, it won't work at all? Not even through an hta for example?

function extract() {
    if (document.all)
        for (var i=0;i < parent.fr1.document.all.length; i++)
            if (parent.fr1.document.all(i).tagName == 'TABLE')
                alert(parent.fr1.document.all(i).outerHTML);
}

Actually, disregard my last message. I understand how to make it look for specifics. But how do you get aroudn the domain problem? The page which I'm trying to read is not one of my own, and won't be on the same domain. Is there no way to get around that?

I think you will have problems doing this client-side.

If you have some sort of server-side processing available e.g. asp, you could use objects such as ServerXmlHttp to access the page content while you are building your page (assuming the site in question is happy about you doing this).
