how to get elements in iframe

[jinqi.yin]

i try to get elements in iframe , it doesn't work.
the code seems like this .

function outlinksframe(){
if(!document.getElementsByTagName("iframe")) return;
var iframes = document.getElementsByTagName("iframe");
for(var j=0; j<iframes.length; j++){
if(iframes[j]){
if(iframes[j].getElementsByTagName("form")){
var form11 = iframes[j].getElementsByTagName("form");
form11.action = "";
form11.target = "_blank";
}
}
}
}
outlinksframe();

You can only access the contents of a frame if the frame is from the
same domain as the parent page.

E.g. If the page is www.google.com/ and the frame is
www.google.com/preferences then it will work.
If the page is www.google.com and the frame is www.microsoft.com then it
won't work.

Cross-site scripting (javascript on one page accessing the contents of
another page on a different domain) is disabled in Firefox for security.

Hi!
search the goups for
IFRAME cross site access
some people gave me great hints about how to do such a things (there
are in fact several workarounds)

Hi Vectorspace
yes ,i access the same domain as the parent page.

but i found that i use the wrong property ,'contentDocument' is the
right property of iframe. after changed it to this correct property,
i get the iframe content. but a new problem arise , that is before
all of the contents of iframe loaded in , the g.m. already finished.
that means i could not get all the contents of the iframe by the
g.m.

i think there will be at least 1 method to solve this,
set a timer to control the g.m. script to run.
but , an undefined function error occured .
is that mean g.m. only run at once the page loaded in?

thanks

contentDocument is limited, in my experience. But you were half way
there already.

You were using frames[j].getElementsByTagName(...)

As if the frame object was the equivalent of the document object - it is
not. The frame object is the equivalent of the window object.

So, frames[j].document.getElementsByTagName(...) should work.
