Retrieving innerText from an iFrame

[lilman]

I have a button, and when you click it, ideally, I'd like it to show the HTML.  I have an iFrame with the id attribute valued as viewLook. So I am trying to view the HTML using a button which calls a function that has this code:

 

var obj=document.getElementById("viewLook").contentWindow.document.innerText;

document.write(obj);

 

However, it always comes back undefined.  Any help would be great.

I am pretty sure that an Iframe will only load a page. So the only info you can get back would be the current src that the iFrame is currently pointing to. I could also be a big fat liar

innerText works only in IE, use innerHTML instead.

 

Also, you should have the body with the document

 

contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML
