Extorting information from an iframe

I've got a problem. Not that kind. It's with javascript and HTML. Okay, here's what I'm trying to do:

I've got an iframe with width and height of 0, so it doesn't show, then I have a loop that is supposed to extract information from a value (say like a textbox) on the page loaded into the iframe, what's supposed to happen is that the page in the iframe continues to reload until stop is pressed, and the script extracts the newest info from the value on the iframe page. So now, what's not happening is me getting the info from that page.

Right now basically what i have is:

Code:

...loop code....
ifram.src="update.html"
dsp_inf_txtarea.value+=ifram.txt_box.value
...more loop code...

and it's giving me a non-existent ojbect error as in wrong path to the objects value....any ideas where it is?

Any ideas at all?
