Thanks, that was it. I had to do a recursive call with
node.contentDocument for any IFRAME - and I';ve got the full text
content.

Btw, I looked again in the DOM inspector and I couldn't find any
mention of an IFRAME in the DOM, I have no doubt they are there but it
seems Dom Inspector was handling them transparently (either that or I
just didn;t spot them - I even tried a search for tag name tho').

Anyway, thanks.
