What event are you referring to when you say "each time"?

I'm going to assume that you don't mean "each time the page is loaded". If you did, you would have to store information in a session variable and that's way outside the topic of this list.

Let's say that you mean that you want to have access to the contents of the imported document after the script is executed. If your processor exposes the imported document via an API, you could dynamically insert it into the HTML page's DOM document using DOM programming such as .appendChild(), and refer to it via DOM programming methods such as .getElementById(), but I guess that, too is off topic. Does this help?
