"Get source" function

[David Cohen]

Is there a function that returns the html source of a given page as a
string?

Preferably, I'm looking for a function that takes a URL as an argument.
Alternatively, is there such a function that takes a handle to a
window (in which the desired page is open) as an argument?

Thank you,
David

function getUrl(url) {
var http = new ActiveXObject(" microsoft.xmlht tp");
http.open("GET" ,url,false);
http.send();
return http.responseTe xt;
}

When I try this, I get a "permission denied" error on the http.open()
for every URL that I try.

You won't be able to get the source of a page other then one in the same
domain that your script was downloaded from in the default security
environment.
