Hey all, I’d like to do the following: .) Initially I have a page with a form containing a single input field. .) I enter an URL into the input field, the page is loaded and placed inside a div (or an iframe, or whatever) inside the initial page. .) I want to capture user interaction (let’s say only mouse clicks for now) inside the div - e.g. if an user clicks an element, it’s XPath will be written below the initial search box. I hope it’s clear what I am trying to do. I would need just a high level solution (if it is possible at all - I think it should be). I am using jQuery whenever I can - do you think it’s worth switch to Prototype for this stuff?

If i get you correctly, you want to capture clicks on the pag that is loaded inside the iframe (you have to use an iframe for this) I really doubt this is possible as it would open up doors to XSS- Attacks. But i i’m not sure. If it is possible, i don’t know how 😉
