Read information from another web site

Is it possible to have one of my websites read in information from another
site and use that information in my site?

Here is the situation. We are a cellular dealer and need to look up a
customers information to do any work on their account. We end up copying
that information via cut and paste into our form but I would like to do it
"automatically". Does using XML allow me that?

No I don't. The format of the page with the information we need rarely
changes (maybe once or twice a year). We access it with a username/password.

You would have to write something akin to a screen scraper in javascript to
recover any information from that other site then. Don't look for me to
help with that! 8)
