Comments on: Injecting HTML into an IFrame http://softwareas.com/injecting-html-into-an-iframe Mahemoff's Podcast/Blog - Web, Programming, Usability from the Author of 'Ajax Design Patterns' (AjaxPatterns.org) Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:29:59 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.3 hourly 1 By: Roque SOlis http://softwareas.com/injecting-html-into-an-iframe/comment-page-1#comment-466951 Roque SOlis Wed, 17 Feb 2010 20:15:29 +0000 http://softwareas.com/?p=466#comment-466951 <p>Hello, I would like to pose a question to you regarding the iframe. We are developing a password manager and have to be able to parse out any website that accepts credentials and we struggle with websites that use the iframe for this purpose, particularly when we're in Internet Explorer. Our code works perfectly in Firefox. My developers tell me that it has something to do with IE's security and the iframe, not being that familiar with either one of those topics I set out to do some research. Is there any information you can share with me on this topic? The problem is that we need to be able to parse out information that is embedded in an iframe, and so far we have not been able to do it.</p> <p>Thanks, Roque</p> Hello,
I would like to pose a question to you regarding the iframe. We are developing a password manager and have to be able to parse out any website that accepts credentials and we struggle with websites that use the iframe for this purpose, particularly when we’re in Internet Explorer. Our code works perfectly in Firefox. My developers tell me that it has something to do with IE’s security and the iframe, not being that familiar with either one of those topics I set out to do some research. Is there any information you can share with me on this topic? The problem is that we need to be able to parse out information that is embedded in an iframe, and so far we have not been able to do it.

Thanks,
Roque

I think its still feasible but i can see it having problems manipulating some of the inner Iframes source.</p> Is this still possible with all modern browsers?

Also, the iframe behaves like a sandbox for CSS, so any CSS in the new document doesn’t interfere with your original document.

Finally, the document inside the iframe has its own DOCTYPE, so if you were doing anything depended on having a particular DOCTYPE, you could do it inside the iframe.
