how to process an url ending in .txt into an iframe as html?

Question

I'm trying to send this command:

document.body.innerHTML = document.body.textContent;

like in this script:

var iframeBody = $(window.my_frame.document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0]);
iframeBody.append($("<h1/>").html("Hello world!"));

HTML:

<iframe id='my_frame' src="http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1168960/0001052918-13-000257.txt"></iframe>

nevertheless it does not executes; anyone knows why?

cheers

You have a Same Origin Policy problem. You can't access the contents of an iframe that resides on a different domain to yours.

In the fiddle, you also didn't include jQuery.

just for future reference, how should jquery be included? – user2376068 Jun 21 '13 at 16:34
The easiest way to include just about any script (at least, for simple tests) is in the HTML: . You can get a good public URL for JQuery here: https://developers.google.com/speed/libraries/devguide#jquery – Katana314 Jun 21 '13 at 16:59

 <div id="example"></div>

 $('#example').load('http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1168960/0001052918-13-000257.txt');
