ALternative method for python urllib or requests in javascript

I am using python urllib to get an image from an URL.

img=Image.open(urllib2.urlopen(URL))

What is the alternative method to do this in plain Javascript?

You can use an ajax call:

Edit because of comment:

var img = new Image(); 
$('#your-image-container').click(function() {
    $.ajax({
        url: URL,
        type: "GET",
        async: True,
        success: function(in_img) {
            img.src = in_img;
            $(this).append(img);
        },
    })
}

That is a direct alternative.
You should also consider that in javascript, you can simply do:

 $(function(){
       $("#your-image-container").attr("src", URL) 
 });​

and you will have the image loaded in the #your-image-container!
