Anyone know how to get an iframe's contents?

Hi,



I've created an object that points to all the iframes

using a for loop searching for getelementsbytagname('iframe')

a_iframeObj1 = elements;

Anyone know how to get an iframe's contents?

out of a_iframeObj1

Thanks,

Zaui

I am quite certain you can't

I don't think you can do that unless that JavaScript is actually inside the iFrame.

You can do it with javascript but theres no point since most browsers block it. You can either get the page source when creating your page and store it as a javascript variable. or you can do an ajax call to get it(but you will need a proxy file on your server to do this)

hmmm. That sucks.

Let me try phrasing it another way then =)

Anyone found a way to capture the ad text being shown on a google adsense ad? All the commercial scripts I've found dont capture the actual ad text.

This would be great thing to have in affiliate marketing also. If you could pull iframe's source, you could easily track when the sale happened. Now you just have to trust merchant or CPA network to show you correct stats and you have no way of knowing how much is average order etc.

It's not possible mate, it would be the biggest exploit ever.

Well if MyBlogLog can track clicks through an iframe then why can't you get its contents?

I think Shoemoney's post on his blog can shed some light on this.

It's impossible. You could hack anything or anyone if you could read any iframe content

If you read what they are sending they are just reporting that the iframe was clicked on. Not what was in it or what specific ad was clicked.
