getting source code of a page

mikedikta · #1 (**permalink**) Oct 11th, 2007, 01:44

Hi, this is my first post (but not last), thanks for reading.

Here's my problem: I want a site with two frames: the left one has a button, and the right one is an external site (eg: google.com).

And I want (need) that when the button in the left frame gets clicked it saves the source code of the site in the right one. I need to get this source in a String or in a file or in some other way that I can manipulate it (I know I can't modify an external page, and that's not what I want)

I did the following code, that works when the left frame is an internal file (ex: frame_02.htm), but does't work when I use http://google.com

Code: Select all

//this the main page
<html>
<title>Exemplo de criação de frames</title>

<FRAMESET cols="50%,50%">

    <FRAME SRC="frame1.htm" NAME="frame1">

    <FRAME SRC="http://google.com" NAME="frame2"> 
//works if was "frame2.htm"

</FRAMESET>
<body></body>
</html>

Code: Select all

//this is frame1.htm
<html>
<title>Frist Frame</title>
<body>

<form name="view">
<input type="button" name="source" onclick="vs()" value="View This Page's Source">
</form>
<script language="Javascript">
<!--
// please keep these lines on when you copy the source
// made by: Nicolas - http://www.javascript-page.com

function vs() {
document.location = "view-source:" + parent.frame2.document.location.href
}
//-->
</script>


</body>
</html>

how can I have the source code of a external site? anyone could post a solution? can be in Java, or other language

thanks for reading

best regards

Hmmmm frames

You could try this

Code: Select all

//this is frame1.htm
<html>
<title>Frist Frame</title>
<body>

<form name="view">
<input type="button" name="source" onclick="vs()" value="View This Page's Source">
</form>
<script language="Javascript">
<!--
var frameSource
function vs() {
frameSource = top.frame2.document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML;
}
//-->
</script>

Now you should have all the code between the html tags stored in frameSource variable.

</body>
</html>
[/code]

thanks, but it doesn't work, permission denied in getting HTMLDocument.getElementsByTagName

as I said, the page I want the source is external (like yahoo.com)
