Save IFRAME contents [Resolved]

[mendhak]

I have an IFRAME on my page like this:

<iframe width="642" id="idContent" height="350"></iframe>

Underneath that, I have a submit button.

The user can paste anything into this IFRAME which will most likely be in HTML format. I would like to know how I can access what has been pasted into the IFRAME when submitting, so that I can save it to a database.

I don't know how to access the contents though, I've tried this:

Response.Write(Request("idContent"))

But that doesn't work.

Something tells me that the mechanism behind IFRAMEs is somewhat different. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Got it:

function cleanHtml() {
  var fonts = idContent.document.body.all.tags("FONT");
  var curr;
  for (var i = fonts.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    curr = fonts[i];
    if (curr.style.backgroundColor == "#ffffff") curr.outerHTML = curr.innerHTML;
  }
}



function setMode(newMode) {
  bTextMode = newMode;
  var cont;
  if (bTextMode) {
    cleanHtml();
    cleanHtml();

    cont=idContent.document.body.innerHTML;
    idContent.document.body.innerText=cont;
  } else {
    cont=idContent.document.body.innerText;
    idContent.document.body.innerHTML=cont;
  }
  
  idContent.focus();
}

function HTMLEncode(t) {
var t = t.toString().replace(/&/g, "&").replace(/"/g, """);
  return(t.replace(/</g, "&lt;").replace(/>/g, "&gt;"));
}


function savedocument() { 
  
  setMode(1); //switch doc to html mode for save
//  document.xyz.hiddenfield1.value=idContent.document.body.innerText;
//HTMLEncode
 document.xyz.hiddenfield1.value=HTMLEncode(idContent.document.body.innerText);
  setMode(0); //switch doc back to text mode
  document.xyz.submit(); // submit form for save
} 

To use it... call savedocument() from the button in the form.

Now to more pressing matters...
