Question

I’m trying to get an IFrame inner HTML using below code.

 <iframe src="http://www.msn.com" 
         width="100%" height="100%" marginwidth="0"
         scrolling="no" frameborder="0" id="divInfo" 
         onreadystatechange="MyFunction(this);"></iframe>   

JavaScript code is

  function MyFunction(frameObj)
    {
        if (frameObj.readyState == "complete")
        {
            alert(frameObj.document.body.innerHTML); 
        }
    }

But the alert shows me the html of current document. How can i get the inner HTML of iframe when the frmae ready state is complete.

If i use alert(frameObj.contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML); it gives me Access is denied error.

Thanks in advance.

You can’t read the contents of an <iframe> that has content from a different domain than that of the parent page.
