server side value from client side script

[wASP]

Hi

I was wondering if it is possible to call an external asp / html/ php page and renders its values / response into a client side variable ie:

<script language="Javascript">
// get serverside value
x = _____FUNCTIONNAMEHERE_____('

http://www.web.com/test.asp');

alert(x);
</script>

without using the msxml object.

I thus need to get an external server side value from pure client side script without posting a form, opening a window, or using any object calls...

Use an iframe to do it and return the value to the "parent" document by passing the value in using a function.
