Question

I am creating a web page that accepts a hyperlink from the user and displays that page in an iframe. While rendering the page, I would like to show just the text and simple colors, thats it.

I would like to block all the media files like images and flash scripts from showing up.

If not an extensive one, for the starters, I would like to confine the scope to .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .swf.

Or does anyone know of a site with similar functionality?

You can write a simple dom parser and parse the page before show it in iframe. Then before showing it you can remove whatever you want.

your iframe whould like

<iframe src="your_parser.php"></iframe>

In your parser you can get the content from page using file_get_contents() or curl() it is your choise (i would use curl). Then you can remove the media you want.
