GRABBING HTML DATA FROM OTHER WEBSITES
Msxml2.XMLHTTP - part of the Microsft XML parser, this object was included with Windows 2000 and IE5.x. It wasn't intended for use with standard HTML as such, but it's gained popularity for it.

function grabURL(strURL) {
var objXML = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
objXML.open("GET", strURL, false);
objXML.send();
strResponse = objXML.responseText;
return strResponse;
}
