    I mean given an url, I need to write a function get so that
    content= get(url)
    The content needs to contain the content of the website url.

    say domain.com has a index.htm, now when I say get("domain.com")
    it should retrieve the content of index.htm e.g. 
    
<html>
<body>
content of domain.com/index.html
    Code (markup):

    If the script is on a page obtained from domainA.com, with an iframe from domainB (like AdSense ads), your javacript CAN'T get elements from domainB.

    EDIT: Sorry I didn't read your last post.
    So, do you want to get the url (as said on thread title) or the content (as said on your last post) ?
