copied!<p>If you're using a library like jQuery then you could simply use the <code>load()</code> function which gets the code of a webpage (or a partial of a webpage if you append a <code>#myDiv</code> to the URL). You could then handle that information if you put it in a variable. If you're just using Javascript then you'd need to look into making an AJAX request (which is what <code>load()</code> does). You can find more information on how to do this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8197709/javascript-read-html-from-url-into-string">located here</a>.</p> <p>For more information on the <code>load()</code> function, <a href="http://api.jquery.com/load/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">read jQuery's documentation</a>.</p> <p>Keep in mind, jQuery's <code>load()</code> function is for loading HTML into an element. If you want to read and manipulate that data then you should probably use the <a href="http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>ajax()</code> function</a>. This way you could do something like the following:</p> <pre><code>$.ajax({ type: 'get', url: 'http://www.google.com', crossDomain: true, //Very important, ensures you can get data from a domain that isn't your own! success: function(data) { $('#myDiv').html(data); //Now I can handle all the HTML from my URL from a <div> tag called #myDiv, the following will alert out the body of http://www.google.com alert($('#myDiv').find('body')); } }); </code></pre> <p>This will essentially make a <strong>GET</strong> request to the specified URL, while noting that it is not of the same domain name as the request's origin (your server) and then handles the success in a function with the HTML returned in a variable <code>data</code>. You can use data however you please now seeing as it's your variable now, including parsing of that information how you please.</p>
