When I run

Code:

alert("page contents:" + content.document.documentElement.innerHTML);

I am able to pull the content. I see something like this

Code:

page contents:<head><title>A Title</title
FRAMESET ROWS="75,*"
FRAME SRC="sample2.html" NAME="nav" title="Main Navigation"
FRAME SRC="sample.html" NAME="body" title="Main Content"
/FRAMESET

What I want to get is the HTML inside of one of the frames,
specifically "sample.html".

I am able to get to an HTMLFrameElement object using
"content.document.getElementsByName("body")[0]", but have not been
able to grab the content, and I'm not so sure that's the right path to
be taking to get the content.

The property I was looking for was "contentDocument". Here is the
solution:

content.document.getElementsByName("body")
[0].contentDocument.documentElement.innerHTML

which I was able to assemble once I found the "right" API
documentation here:http://www.xulplanet.com/references/...DOMHTMLFrameEl...

There seems to be problems getting the document object of a frame.
