How to get html source code from external url

Question

How can I get html source code from an external web page?

Something like: getHtml(\'http://google.com\');.

I\'ve tried to get content of iframe

Answer 1

With javascript, getting the file contents from another domain is not allowed in many browsers for security reasons. In php, you'd have to utilize curl.

For a workaround, you can make a php script with curl on your local domain and call that with javascript.
