Hi all, I was trying to get the contents from a dynamic webpage. In Javascript, I was able to access the Window object and access all the elements of the current webpage. Likewise, how can I access any other webpage and access its content? My idea is to create a frame in my webpage and load the page(which I wanted to access), into that frame. Then I will have control over the elements of my target webpage and so can access the contents. Is there a better/easy way to do it?
To make my question clear, I need the PHP's "file_get_contents()" equivalent logic for JavaScript. I could not find any solution for my issue.
I had to solve a very similar issue while preparing the G4EF toolbar. Actually you may use XMLHttpRequest to get the page. [[ You can use it to transfer not only HTTP stream but also XML ]]. But I faced a lot of problem while accessing the DOM of the downloaded page. So, I had to create a hidden frame and open the page within it.
