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

i think using javascript xmlhttprequest with setRequestHeader('content-type','xml/text') and the url what u need it will return the responseText as the html of the page

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Cross domain? not possible without a server process. If you are on windows and can use HTA you can use the iframe
