Cross-domain scripting restrictions apply. In other words, javascript cannot
do it. Browsers are designed to that way, for obvious security reasons.
Workarounds include serverside script and ActiveX stuff. For more
information, you can start at www.jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_19.

Re: get html source from a url

Within your own domain under IE you can use frames with document.domain
property PROGRAMMICALLY set to the same value in both frames. After that you
can use innerHTML and textRange objects between frames. But under your own
domain you have easier ways to accomplish your tasks.

With cross-domain it's not possible using JavaScript. With server-side
scripting it's technically not so difficult, but it's called
"content/traffic stealing", and shame on thieves!
