file_get_contents() equiv .. sorta

[severndigital]

i need to get the char count of the result of a url

 

in php i would do this.

 

$link = 'www.google.com';
$length = strlen(file_get_contents($link));

 

any help on doing this in javascript would be great. I need to resize some divs and iframes based off of the char count.

 

Thanks,

C

var length = document.getElementById('divId').innerHTML.length

the content i am trying to examine is being loaded into an iframe using the src attribute. so if i count the innterHTML all i get is 0.

 

that is why i need to return the content of the page that is trying load into the iframe before it gets loaded.

For security reasons JavaScript cannot access any files from domains different than the the script is coming from.

you'll need to use AJAX to contact a php file on your server that will contact the other domain. and then return the results to the javascript function
