Is it possible to load an external page?

How can I load an external page (ex: http://www.google.pt) to a div in my page?

I've tried html5 like this:

document.getElementById(id).innerHTML = "<iframe src='http://www.google.com' height='100%' width='100%'></iframe>";

but it doesn't load.

When I put a page from my domain, it properly loads.

How can I load an external page (from another domain) ?

Loading this iframe gives this error : Refused to display document because display forbidden by X-Frame-Options.

Which means that Google doesn't allow you to do this. If you want to use Google Search on your site, you can use Google Custom Search.

You should really do this server-side, because including a page on the client-side can have bad effects. For a start, Google won't read a page loaded with an iframe.

It's a pretty cheap way to do things, does your server not support PHP?

There are some cross-domain restrictions because of which you cannot load any external site directly into an iframe on your page.

However you can try the following jQuery plugin for making cross-domain AJAX requests;

Google does not let itself be loaded from within an iframe.
