Hi,
I would want to dynamically get the DOM structure (HTML source) of a web page. I want to do some manipulations with it later. Is this possible in javascript at all?
Thanks.

This is possible - it's what javascript is for! Use the document object. i.e.
document.documentElement.innerHTML

No, this is not what i want. I want to get the DOM of another website. Say for example I need to hold the DOM of Google.com in my script

@Bragaadeesh: You could use AJAX to fetch the HTML source of http://google.com/

Well, most browsers do not allow you to use cross domain ajax requests. you'll need a library written in flash that connects to your js.

Yes, it is. It is a core part of browser's Javascript, DOM manipulation of your web page.

Your best (and safest) bet is to either fetch the other web page server side and include it in the HTML of your page as a hidden element.
