Hi Tony Sadly browser security restrictions mess everything up. Pages hosting an iframe, img, object or embed that references a remote resource cannot access the resource itself in any way, they can only manipulate the container that is used to display them.
The exception that we take advantage of for the plugin library is that pages hosting iframes can exchange pre-arranged messages via the window.postMessage API. It’s that mechanism that allows a TW hosted on your desktop to directly access resources hosted on a remote resource. The root cause here is the “same origin policy” restrictions.
