Get the source code of a URL using JavaScript

I am trying to get the source code of a page (let's say google.com) using Javascript. The code I tried is below but the issue remains the same which is that I am accessing a different domain. What I am trying to do is to check the source code of a page, check for a specific value in that source code and behave based on that information. Thanks!

$.get(url, function(data){ something(data); }//end function(data) );//end get

You can't do it if the page is from another domain and doesn't specifically allow it with CORS headers. See the Same Origin Policy.

The only "workaround" is using a server, either fetching the source for you or acting as proxy.
