Thanks for the answers. The reason I'm asking this in Perlmonks is because I'm not quite sure what I actually need/want in JavaScript.

We don't want users seeing the financial institution pages, we want to download the account statements in the background (but still using the client's browser). This has led me thinking into loading the banking pages in a hidden IFRAME, but yes, there's the same origin problem (I cannot peek into the DOM of the content of the IFRAME).

I just read up on cross-domain AJAX and JSONP, but this requires that the banking site returns JSON, which it does not.

We could setup a proxy on our servers, but this violates the requirement.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
