screen scraping with a twist

Asked By jvcoach23

I have been looking around and cannot find or figure out what i'm really going
after.  I'd like to be able to screen scrap the current web page that i'm on.
This page would have some input type =text textboxes that the user can input
data into.. say their name "John Smith".  i want to be able to click a button
and scrape the page including the John Smith information...
Can someone help me out.
thanks
shannon

This is definitely out of scope in an ASP group. You're talking about
doing something on a client machine. ASP is strictly server-side
technology.


You will likely need to use a client application that hooks into the
browser process to get at the DOM. I do not think this is trivial,
especially if you need to make it browser-independent. But anyways, you
should ask in a group that focusses on whatever application language
(VB, C++, etc.) you wish to use to accomplish this.
