javascript: reading from URL?

Comment:
Is there a way to read from an existing webpage (I mean reading the html-code) using javascript?
I know how to read from an url in a javaprogram, but I don't know how or if I can convert it to a javascript.
the thing I want to accomplish is to read certain lines of the html-code from a page and display them somewhere in my webpage. In this way, I don't have to update my own webpage when the data changes on the other page. (to get it working, reading only the first line is good enough for me, the rest I should be able to solve myself.)
thanks Johan ps, if it's to difficult to display the code in a post, please email me.
or you can replace the second window.location with a URL.
