getting a frame inside out

[Jipakazoid]

Hi all,

with a simple :

str = wb.Document.body.innerHTML

 

i can get am HTML source that is in the body, but two questions arise,

 

1. How do i get what is in the head part, or even better can i get the whole document, like i would if i'd use "view source" ?

 

2. How do i access this .innerHTML of a frame that is nested in this document of mine? Say my document is the menu that has 3 frames with names "a" "b" "c", how do i get there sources?

i tried :

str = wb.Document.frames("a").body.innerHTML

and :

str = wb.Document.frames.a.body.innerHTML

but it's a syntaxis that i donno and don't think i will guess, so i ask you for help :)

 

Thanks in advance, J.

The best way is to get rid of the frames, seriously though can you not do without frames.

Well if i could get rid of the frame i would of course do that, but it's not my choice. I have to work with frames, the thing is i don't see anyone tell me how :)

 

Or your post simply means it's impossible?

iframes:

alert(window.document.frames[0].document.body.innerHTML);

 

 

for normal frameset use

 

parent.window.document.frames[0] ...

WebJumper, THAT is going to work for VB.NET ???

[WebJumper]

this is javascript!!!

 

the server has no idea of you frames or something! the server gets a request and gives rendered html back to the client!

 

when you need this innerhtml serverside read it with javascript, write it to a asp server textbox and get the textbox.text on the serverside...

 

what exactly want you to do?

[Robby]

As WebJumper pointed out; it's not impossible but quite a chore and workaround. ASP.NET was not designed to use frames.

 

Maybe there is a way around using frames, what exactly is your given task?

I have to analyze pages i recieve from a certain server.

For that i have to log-in, and i get frames, i can't open one of the pages alone because there is a JavaScript check to see that i use the server frames, and if i don't it throws me by _top to the login page. Therefore i must use frames, and the target as i said is to get one of the the frame inside's info, like i would get if i would use view source in browser on that frame page.

 

I mean if my VB browser can show me the page, means he get's all the frames sources, so isn't there a way for him to show me what he got?

Not without using JavaScript.

[Jipakazoid]

And how with javascript?

The thing is i don't control the server.

I just want to analyze it's texts..
