How can I create a Document object from a link (string)

Question

Is there any way to create a javascript document Object by calling a function? Something like this:

<script type="javascript/text">
  var myDoc = createDocument("example.html");
</script>

I want to be able to create and manipulate a DOM from a string, 'example.com'.

"example.html" is in a variable within the javascript program. — Amin

Initially you need to get html through AJAX request after use DOMParser.

var parser = new DOMParser();
var doc = parser.parseFromString("<html_string>", "text/html");

OR

var doctype = document.implementation.createDocumentType(
    'html',
    '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN',
    'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd'
);

var dom = document.implementation.createDocument(
    'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml',
    'html',
    doctype
);

 // assign the body of your page, after you can use dom variable.
dom.documentElement.innerHTML = '<head></head><body></body>';
