How to load cross domain url in html script tag

Question

I want to load cross domain url html content on my webpage. I read that it could be achieved by loading url in script and calling global callback function. My code is below-

<html>
<body>

<div id="response"></div>

<script>
  function myFunction (data) {
    var stringData = JSON.stringify(data)
    document.getElementById('response').innerHTML = stringData;
  }
</script>
<script src="http://zeenews.india.com?callback=myFunction()"></script>

</body>
</html>

When i run this HTML file, i get below error

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

I could also see this url in front of error

?callback=myFunction():2

Please help me.

I'm guessing zeenews.india.com isn't actually a script file, but HTML — adeneo

You can't do that in a script tag, if you want the HTML you'll have to use the serverside to scrape it — adeneo

You are getting this error because of this tag

<script src="http://zeenews.india.com?callback=myFunction()"></script>

, since the url you entered doesn't return a javascript file. The src attribute in the <script> tag is for js only.

If you want to display the content of the webpage inside the response div tag, you should use the <iframe> tag inside that div, like this:

<div id="response">
    <iframe src="http://zeenews.india.com"></iframe>
</div>

is there anyway to get cross domain HTML through script tag? they talked about it on SO at many places

Ajax is subject to the same-origin policy, so that probably doesn't work at all.

@user609306, no there is not. Why would you even want to do something like that? Script tags are for scripts
