frame to do the dirty work. Create a hidden frame, set it's location to
your URL, then check the content of it's document to get the output from the
url (what you need) and set it to your variable. Just be careful, because
setting the location is an asyncronous operation, so it'll return
immediately. You'll have to use setTimout or setInterval to keep checking
the hidden frame's document source to see when the request is finished
processing.
