parse an element from a hidden frame into a visible frame using javascript

Question

Does anyone know a way to parse a DIV from an html frame into a visible frame using JavaScript?

For example, if I make an hidden frame of Google search results and show on the visible frame only the search results element without the search box, menu tabs, etc.

If you put google's website in an frame or iframe you'll get the javascript Exception with text: "Refused to display document because display forbidden by X-Frame-Options."

Google does not allow to put the site in an iframe.

To forbid your website in an iframe you can use code like this:

var inIframe = function() {
    return (top != self);
};

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    if (inIframe()) { throw new Error("Refused to display document because display forbidden by X-Frame-Options."); }

    // load site
});
