Is there some way for the portlet to get info from an iFrame?

hi , Jose

Use of IFRAME with Caution:

IFRAMEs are an easy way to include extenal content within a portlet,but unde
rmine the whole portlet principle because the portlet API is just tunneled o
r side-stepped.

Therefore , IFRAME's should only be used for very special cases,such as surf
acing legacy applications.
Other potential issues to consider when using an IFRAME are:

a)--> The IFRAME fills its content based on a URL. The URL must be addressab
le by the browser ,therefore the server that is the target of the URL must b
e accessible bye the browser.

b)----> Not all browser levels supports IFRAMEs.

c)----> If the content is larger than the IFRAME region, then enable horizon
tal and vertical scrolling to let the user scroll through the embedded conte
nt.Content which contains scrolling regions itself can make it different for
 the end user to manipulate
all scrolling regions to view all embedded content, causing  uasbility probl
ems.
