read/write <input> values in SSL from other window

**pollito** · September 17th, 2002, 06:17 AM

Is there any way of read or write the value of an INPUT tag of type="text" or "password" of another SSL page?

i.e.
Imagine the secure site www.a.com with this source:
<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM name=form1>
<INPUT type="text" name=text1>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Then in our page we have the following javascript order
winHandle= open("https://www.a.com", "window2")

How can I access/modify the value of the text box in this HTTPS page? If I try to use 'winHandle.document.form1.text1.value= 3' iExplore reports me an 'Access Denied' error.

i think the whole idea of a secure page is so that you can't just access it via scripting or other methods like it. I think getting the value of it will have to be done another way. I'm thinking a server side scripting language, but it would have to administer the page to have access to it. I'm pretty sure from what you said ie complains about that javascript is not going to provide an answer.
