This is the scenario :

-User is logged in the remote website (via iframe)

-With that cookie saved the user is able to make a get request and obtain a table

-This table is loaded in a second iframe

Problem : I would like to apply styles to that received information.

The output of the request is a simple html file with a table , I cannot access that file from a server (php for example) , because I have no control over the remote site , and in order to make that request user need to be logged (and as said what I do is load an iframe with the get request response..) .

The only thing that comes to my mind is to parse that response , but without a server-side tool , I do not think this is approachable. Any idea?

You can't apply css to remote sites in iframe – Hardik Raval Dec 19 '14 at 09:01
Your best bet would be to write some sort of server side proxy to this information, which would request the remote table and give you some HTML, which you could style to your liking. – Tom Hallam Dec 19 '14 at 09:10
