If you wish to load external page via link and read it as string, refer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14779467/html-source-code-of-external-webpage-as-string — Rajesh, Jun 22 '16 at 10:22
And if you just wish to open some page in some div of your page, you can look into `iFrames`. — Rajesh, Jun 22 '16 at 10:24

You can obtain the HTML content of any node with innerHTML. Example (for body node):

document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML
