thanks nschafer, you didn't give me the answer, but you showed me how to get there. &nbsp;after a while of playing with the code and such, i was able to get it working. &nbsp;thanks.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have an idea for a web application. &nbsp;I want to be able to develop a personal page and load an external page like <a href="http://www.google.com" rel="ugc">www.google.com</a>&nbsp;into a frame or iframe. &nbsp;I was experimenting but began to wonder if what I wanted to do was even possible. &nbsp;I was wondering if I am able to get the html source code of that external website that i loaded so that i may manipulate/parse it? I thought i heard somewhere that you are only able to get the source of webpages that are local to your site, and not externally loaded sites.<br />
<br />
The programming languages I have at my disgretion is PHP, ASP, JavaScript, and HTML. &nbsp;I could also consider using C++ or Perl. &nbsp;I think this is possible with AJAX, but don't plan on learning yet another new language at the moment. &nbsp;Please let me know how i can go about doing this.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />

Able to get iframe non-local source html?
