@letmehaveagoJun 27.2010 — The correct code to use is:

[CODE]
document.getElementById('mainFrame').contentWindow.document.getElementById('screen').innerHTML = 'newhtml;
[/CODE]

Note the .contentWindow.document

Of course make sure the iframe is fully loaded before checking. Plus the src of the iframe belongs to you otherwise you will be denied access because of security restrictions - in ie8.

Success!
