Overriding css for an iframe(external content)
HI,
I have an iframe content loaded from an external site and I would like to modify the css classes to change the look. I figured out the classes used and then created a css file for that and included it above the iframe but later I found that it cannot be done because of security reasons. Is there any other way to achieve this?
So I was thinking of loading this iframe(external) into a local iframe or div on my site using js so that now I will be able to modify the css. Is this possible? I couldn't find any good example on this. I read little bit about this and it looks like IE browser will not work fine as it will ask the user before loading the content. Can someone help me out in finding a way to do this?
thanks!

Thanks, you mean I should get the generated code for that iframe that is loading the content and use it on my webpage?

good to know that its not possible. I tried the parsing method and it didn't work either.
