Hi there,

I have an iframe with id "appframe", the source is page.html and it's on the same server. I want to get the source of the page using jQuery.

alert($("#appframe").contents().find("html").html());

returns <head></head><body></body> even though the document does not contain those tags, it only contains "Default page", so that is exactly what it should return. Any idea how to get the right source script of the whole document using jQuery?

Eg. if the document would be "test" then that is exactly what it should return.

Please note: I did ask this before a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I got no solving answer. Because of my lower reputation (~85), I can not request a bounty... This doesn't make much sense to me. Anyway, it forced me to repost this question.
