[Javascript] JavaScript equivalent to bash shell scripting

[Flavio Gomes]

Try XMLHttp object::

Below goes a modified Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V from the list history thanks to Hakam:

--//---
var oRequest;

if(document.all) {
    // Internet Explorer
    oRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
}
else {
    // Mozilla
    oRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
}

textToBeWritten = '';

oRequest.open("GET", "http://www.mysite.com/template/index.htm", false);
oRequest.send(null);
textToBeWritten += oRequest.responseText;

oRequest.open("GET", "http://www.mysite.com/whatever.htm", false);
oRequest.send(null);
textToBeWritten += oRequest.responseText;

oRequest.open("GET", "http://www.mysite.com/template/bottom.htm", false);
oRequest.send(null);
textToBeWritten += oRequest.responseText;

document.write(textToBeWritten);
--//---
