I have a URL of a remote page from a different domain which I have to download, parse, and update DOM of the current page. I've found examples of doing this using new ActiveXObject(Msxml2.XMLHTTP), but that's limited to IE, I guess, and using new java.net.URL, but I don't want to use Java. Are there any alternatives?

Same domain policy is going to get you.



1) Proxy through your server. browser->your server->their server->your server->browser.



2) Use flash or silverlight. The 3rd party has to give you access. The bridge between javascript and flash isn't great for large amounts of data and there are bugs. Silverlight isn't ubiquitous like flash...



3) use a tag. This really isn't safe... Only works if 3rd party content is valid javascript.
