Able to get iframe non-local source html?
I have an idea for a web application. I want to be able to develop a personal page and load an external page like www.google.com into a frame or iframe. I was experimenting but began to wonder if what I wanted to do was even possible. 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.
The programming languages I have at my disgretion is PHP, ASP, JavaScript, and HTML. I could also consider using C++ or Perl. I think this is possible with AJAX, but don't plan on learning yet another new language at the moment. Please let me know how i can go about doing this.
Thanks in advance.
