[BNM] Links, Iframes, RSS and target="_blank"

[Dan Eastwell]

Really? It you couldn't getElementsByTagName("a") within the iframe from
outside it? What happened? I suppose it's another 'document' object. And
it's not within the document that you're controlling.

Could you not create another object to pop the iframe document in? (I'm
thinking out loud here and am not responsible if I'm talking
pseudo-technical nonsense..)

Does the iframe object have innerHTML?
