javascript - Getting page source from remote location almost works - just need to get the result into a variable -
having worked through previous postings , results of other searches, seem able want appears data object rather text can assign variable.
i limited javascript in environment working in , want use string functions on returned data can search terms.
this url format returns data object - result asked open or save text file:
http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20html%20where%20url%20%3d%20%22http://www.redrag.info/index.htm%22%20and%20xpath%3d%22*%22&format=xml&callback=cbfunc
(you can replace url - http://www.redrag.info/index.htm - within example above 1 of own if wish)
instead of opening text file, can use javascript document functions assign output variable?
thanks.
remove callback=cbfunc
, define yours callback function. , can change format=json
format=xml
because simple handle. data , whatever want data
$.getjson("http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20html%20where%20url%20%3d%20%22http://www.redrag.info/index.htm%22%20and%20xpath%3d%22*%22&format=json", function(data) { alert(data); } );
