hi all,

I ve got the basics of screen scraping down in that i can develop an app that retrieves, parses and does whatever else you need basic html, however on sites whose content is created by javascript this method doesnt seems to be working.

Any help or pointers in the right direction would be very appreciated!

Also if you want to see any of the code or the urls that im scraping feel free to ask!

Thanks
Alex

I have a problem with logging into web site via screen scraping. User name
and password field contain 'name' property, and therefore I can easily do
assignment to them: "userid=uidTest&password=pwTest"

I'm not familiar with this term, screen scraping. Is it the process of extracting data from HTML?
