get document at a url

[Kiehlster]

Is there any way with javascript to get a document from a url and then put it into a string to be parsed/cropped? Microsoft took over cnbc.com's nice little stock quote servlet that I was referencing as a script in my html document (a servlet that returns a javascript with all your stock values. so cool, so nice, but microsoft @#$% it up and removed it). Now I can't find anywhere that does the same sort of thing. I need a client-side script that pulls stock prices and current info about a stock from a webpage and then use those values to display the stock on my website in my format.
If you have an easier way, please do tell me. thanks! Steve Kiehl

you could load the content in another frame, parse the frame for its content and then use that. but you will probably run into a security problem or two theEclipse

Well, believe me, the page I'm writing breaks a million security restricts, but it isn't public to the world, so it's safe from all those people out there. It runs in outlook and uses activex controls and stuff. I need it to do this in the background. I don't want it to look messy and have some window pop up and disappear or any of that stuff.
