The easiest solution is probably to use the JQuery library.

$.get("mypage.html", function(data){
  alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
});

I think that this should do the trick. It's untested but give it a try.

document.documentElement.innerHTML

Another approach could be to query the URL through XmlHttpRequest and read the response.responseText
