Finding an iframe in TinyMCE textarea entered code

Some people post the html of blog post that they want to share on our site. However, iframes are not permitted on our site, so I want to check the entered code that none were entered into the TinyMCE editor.

I am running a validation javascript on submission and it has the following code:

 if (ErrorFound == 0)
 {
      if (tinyMCE.get("entryText").getContent().indexOf("<iframe") != -1)
      {
           alert("iframes are not accepted on this site as they can be used maliciously, please remove the offending code.");
           document.frmBlogEntry.entryText.focus();
           ErrorFound = ErrorFound + 1
      }
 }

What am i doing wrong? as when this is executed it is ignored. It must be something obvious that I am missing.

Would really appreciate your help. Many thanks in advance, Paul

I solved it by assigning getContent() to a variable first and then checking the indexof, was just a javascript problem.. nothing related to tinymce. Many thanks

By default the TinyMCE Editor cleans the output from the editor .... this link shows the default list of elements allowed

http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration:valid_elements

the iframe tag is not on that list of valid elements (the default one) - i would suggest that its being removed by the editor itself ....
