HTML source code

[Steve Slax]

Hi all.

I've a problem: I need to retrieve (in javascript) the soure HTML code
from a url without loading the page then put the HTML source code in a
string variable to manipulate it. From this variable I need to get all
the links to perform some operations.

Everyone have an idea?

Thanks.

If both the requestor page (with your script) and the requested page
(with HTML to parse) are located under the same domain you can use
ajaxoids for this task. I would recommend <http://www.ajaxtoolbox.com>
library.

If they are located on different domains, you cannot do that
client-side. You need to install a content grabber on your server (it
is not my business but I presume that all copyrights considerations are
already taken).

What is the difference between retrieving and loading?

You wil have to download it anyway.

In IE, or in cscript/wscript try:

function getUrl(url) {
var http = new ActiveXObject("microsoft.xmlhttp");
http.open("GET",url,false);
http.send();
return http.responseText;
}
