I need to be able to detect either the document properties or the HTML of a frame page and then invoke a function based on what I find..

eg below is the outline code for what happens..
frameset loads, triggers done() which writes data to B.
what I need is to detect whats actually in frame D so that I can trigger different functions based on what comes back..
(msn.com will not always come back because of timeouts, network problems etc) I'd like to capture the errors etc

either document properties or by searching content (eg read html in frame D, if find 404 then assume its page not found error


cheers
D

<html>
<script>
function done(){
PD.document.open()
PD document write() .. blah blah
PD.document.close
}
</script>
<frameset name=A rows=&quot;60%,*&quot;>
<frame name=&quot;B&quot; src=&quot;&quot;>
<frameset NAME=C rows = &quot;100%,*&quot; onLoad=&quot;done()&quot;>
<FRAME NAME=D SRC=&quot; <FRAME NAME=E SRC=&quot;&quot; >
</frameset>
</frameset>

for security reasons, you cannot access window/document properties of pages that are not on your domain.

you're probably getting &quot;access denied&quot; script errors, right? =========================================================

Hi,

no, I haven't tried it yet because I was aware of the security restrictions..

been mulling over how to get round it first

off the top of my head, i know you can use java (not javascript) to read a URL as a textstream...you could probably use jsp to read a webpage into a local file, then display that local file...voilà: now you can access the window
