a simple NO YOU CAN'T or a BUY A TEXTBOOK & READ IT will probably answer my query..
what i want to do is to analyse a load of share bulletin boards, from a webpage on my home pc. i'd hoped to do it by putting the bb page in an iframe and parsing the iframe's innerHTML. but this is barred by javascript.
i'm a bit cheesed off having found that out only after doing the hard work of writing the parsing-code.. (i had pasted a sample bulletin board source code into the iframe, so it was all local..)
but i read something about JSON.. which might outflank the security. i'd like to know: can i get an example of how this might be done? how much of a learning curve is JSON. can i fix it up on this machine?
thanks for any help..
