How can I copy a text from a cross-domain iframe and paste it in a textarea of my main page?

I can use javascript, swf or anything. Some user-interaction is expected.

  • Can you use PHP? Did you try loading the iframe's html file directly and extracting the required text from its source code? If its an option then **use google for PHP string extraction tutorials** and just fine tune your code to grab from a specific `` or ` – VC.One Mar 15 '16 at 07:16

Ask the user to select the text from the frame and paste it into your text area.

There is no way to automate this; the contents of a cross-domain frame are completely off-limits to Javascript running on your site. Sorry.

  • Generally speaking, no. Sorry. [ActionScript can only load URLs from the same domain as the SWF.](http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/URLRequest.html) –  Mar 15 '16 at 04:41
