Is it possible to display and parse external content into C5 without using an iframe?

Permalink
I want to display an external content in a C5 page without using an iframe. I want to read the external page's HTML contents, parse it and display it in C5 page. I want only certain sections of the external content displayed. Is there a way to do this or perhaps addons that do this?

The time an iframe is essential is if the external content you get is running javascript that does not get on with your site's javascript, or css that messes with your sites css. If it is just plain html, then you have a better chance of not using an iframe.

For getting part of a page, you could look at

(I have not used it)

There are also some iframe addons that, when configured to look like the site page, unless someone looks at the page source, they will not know it is in an iframe.
