Accessing content in a sub frame

 
I am trying to write a Greasemonkey script for a frameset
page and would
like to access the content in a subframe.  I'm having
trouble
constructing an XPath that will take me from the frameset
page down into
the subframe page.  The XPath into the frameset page is:
/html/frameset/frameset/frame[1] and the XPath into the
subframe is:
/html/body/p[1]/a[1].  How does one stitch these two
together so I can
write a single XPath from the frameset page right down into
the subframe
page?

Thanks, Terry

I don't think you can access the content of a sub-frame
with an XPath like
that.

You probably have to use something like....

var iframe_element =
document.getElementById("the-id-of-the-iframe");

var iframe_document = iframe_element.contentWindow.document;

And then once you have the "document" of that
iframe then you can apply you
XPath's to that.


See ya
