I am trying to get the contents of <http://en.wikipedia.org> through an ajax call. For this, I am using jQuery. Here is the code:

```
jQuery.ajax({
  url:"http://en.wikipedia.org",
  crossDomain: true,
  dataType: "jsonp",
  jsonpCallback: "myCallback"
});

function myCallBack(data){
  console.log("ok");  
}

```

The problem is that I get in Firebug this error:

```
SyntaxError: syntax error
<!DOCTYPE html>

```

So I would say that the html content is fetched, although the callback function is not run. At some point it encounters the specified tag, throws this error and stops running the script.

Do you have any idea where the problem might lie?

Is there any other way to get the contents of a html page? I do not want to use iframes, because that means I will not be able to use or modify its contents.
