How to capture info on a webpage

[fthomas]

Forgive my ignorance on this one, but I'm trying to create a script to automate repetitive functions within a web page and I can do quite a bit with webrecorder, but I do get stuck at times. For example, I'd like to be able to download and display an image on the current page in a dialog box for confirmation of an action.

So I'd need to pull the information from the page, by recognizing it's placement in the web page text. Then, have the script pull up a copy of the data or image into a dialog box.

Can I do this?

Thanks!

For just text use the tag extraction tool.

For an image you would need to use the tag extraction tool to return the html of the tag and then you would be able to parse out the image location. It would then probably be easiest to use HTTPRequest to retrieve that image to a file.

If you want/need more control you can parse the entire document HTML yourself.

I knew it could be done, but not sure how. Do you have any examples of this to allow me a template to work from?

First how to parse out the whole html document (and tags would be very cool).

Second, how to do a http call again for the image? I did find out how to get the image again from the code if I modify the text.

Thanks for the graphics reply idiot, but I really would like more information on the 'tag extraction tool' and what else mtettmar mentioned here please.
