How do I import the HTML from website 1 to populate input fields in website 2?

Question

I have a form on website 2 that I need to populate with data on website 1. The code I have so far is:

function fillOutForm () {
document.getElementById('input1').value="innerHTMLFromWebsite2";
}

How do I import the HTML from website 2 and insert it into the "innerHTMLFromWebsite2" section of the above code?

Also to note the 2 websites are on different domains. Think website1 is www.mycompany.com and website2 is www.tripadvisor.com.

Thanks in advance!

you can open url in iframe and then you can get complete html by javascript: document.getElementById('iframe').contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML — Manish Shukla, Apr 15 '15 at 18:34

You cannot do that because of the same-origin policy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy

You can disable that policy if you are the administrator of website2, also check this other question.
