Topic awaiting preservation: dhtml app (Page 1 of 1)

I have been doing some research for a web application I'm tring to design via DHTML.

Basically the app is for editing content.

what happens is :

1 - Type in a website address in a <input>

2 - Input a username and password also in a <input>

3 - Next you hit download content, and javascript using the iframe buffer trick is

supposed to grab the code and content and put in all in a <textarea>

Now everything works fine except that for "security reasons" you connot use

the iframe buffer trick (innerHTML) with absolute addresses (http://www.somedomain.com),

the webpage would have to be in the same domain.

So now I'm raving, sad, mad, angry, pissed......well you get the idea.

Help !?

------------------

Is there a better solution than the iframe buffer for loading external content?
I want to try and find a better solution for the seperation of design and content. SSI? I dunno what's best and flexible...

buddylee: I'd recommend using something like PHP - it can do this kind of thing very easily. See:
