Hey there,
im having a really hard time trying to get some JS code to capture events [ onClick ] within an iFrame...
For some reason I keep on getting a uncaught exeption error [ in firefox ] or the typial 'error on page' error in IE...
my code is this:
var ContentEditor = document.getElementById('t
ContentEditor.contentWindo
basically, it cuts out on the 2nd line and returns the error....
this happens on any site I try and load within the iFrame, and i've tried executing the JS onLoad, on the click of a button [too ensure that everything is loaded before trying]
im really stuck, and need to get this working ASAP !!!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

contentWindow should be contentDocument
ContentEditor.captureEvent
If there are more errors it's hard to say what's wrong unless you paste in more code and/or more about the errors and what you are trying to do.
If the document loaded in the iframe is a page from a different server then the reason for the errors is that JavaScript is not allowed to script other sites' pages. This for security reasons.
