document.documentElement would also refer to the <html> element in an HTML document. :)

how would you do that with a frame, or iframe

(eg named asdf)

would it be (for an iframe)
alert(document.all.asdf.document.getElementsByTagName('HTML')[0].innerHTML)

for an iframe, i think that:

alert(asdf.document.getElementsByTagName('HTML')[0].innerHTML)

is enough

is there a way to do that if the iframe is browsed to a text document, not an html file. So I don't have to start at the <html> tag.. (of course its all on the same server so it won't couse permision errors for cross domains)

edit:
nm, it worked anyway with a text document!!
:D
