Javascript included .js file extraction of code [duplicate]

Question

I have the following .js file, call it myScript.js, which contains the code:

function Something()
{

}

It is embedded in the main HTML as such:

<script src="myScript.js"></script>

I want to obtain the output

function Something()
{

}

Normally, one would use the DOM to extract the script via .innerHTML, but in this case .innerHTML returns an empty string. How would the result be achieved in this case?

Yup, it indeed is a duplicate. Please close this question. Thank you. — March Ho

You should be able to load the script trough ajax, but this will only work if it's on the same domain.

If it's not on the same domain you can implement a server side function that grabs a provided page and then returns it

Please provide feedback if you downvote, the PO wants to get the actual contents of the script, not load the script.

The downvote was because your answer was more of a comment/one liner before you edited the answer.Removed the downvote :-)
