Hello guys, I am new here so please do not hit me with the heavy objects over the head for this question.
I need to build JavaScript based page which should get output of remote HTML (php, asp or what ever) and parse it like XML parser do.
I can do this easily using ASP or PHP but unfortunately for me host server running cgi and config changes to add any module(like PHP for apache) is kind of hard(next to impossible).
URL in browser would look like:
[somehost.com...]
Any idea if this is even possible?

Browser cross domain restrictions make manipulating data from another domain kind of hard also. If its just for your own use you can configure your browser to allow it. There are some workarounds but they require support from of at least one of the servers, search "cross domain ajax"
