[Phalanx1]

how do you access the DOM of a iframe and does the file have to be local or is it possible to pull off a remote html-web edit live?

this is just off the wall it possible to bind to each Session and update new Sessions according to the our connected root Session.

code (just ideas) (ahh, run)
var Root = "

http://www.somewhere.com/";

var OBJ_REFERENCE;
var new ActiveXObject("web_edit_live.windowConnect");
web_edit_live.connect("#Root#default.Session", OBJ_REFERENCE)
returns OBJ_REFERENCE contains info about the system that you connected to and the always contains the default window object settings, so that it can be used like a 'handshake', reference intended for those who understand, after this so called handshake happens the web site grants access to each users session and the DOM and source of the page.
so you would edit it through OBJ_REFENENCE.Some_METHOD_OR_PROPERTY_OR_SCRIPT_ACTION
mabye I should write a RFC.
