Great, the text appears as a <pre> block, but using InnerText rather than
innerHTML sorts that out and just copies the raw text :)

Thanks alot,

And only works in IE since innerText is IE proprietary code.

Okay, I will have to do a workaround at some point :(

Don't listen to what V'often wrong'K is telling you. There is nothing
wrong in using such names, there is no known side effect in any language
or UA. What is true is that it is a Good Thing to choose names with
meaning; for example, the `textarea' element could be named according
to its expected content.

Try referenceToIframe.document.body.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue in
Mozilla/5.0. WFM in Firefox 1.0.7/Linux as an iframe with a plaintext
resource is made available through an embedded HTML document with a
`pre' element containing the resource's content.

Note that innerText (JS is case-sensitive) is an IE-proprietary property.
