Downloading morningstar webpages for screenscraping?

So the page makes extensive use of XMLHttpRequest to populate data which means that your scrapper will have to perform javascript evaluation. If you use the developer tools in Chrome you can see the HTML used to construct the page and the JSON data used to build the tables For scrapping this I would try to use Internet Explorer as it can host the whole page inside of it and perform javascript evaluation. There are probably other ways to use APIs such as WebKit but IE should work right out of the box.

Thanks for your reply. I've been playing with htmlunit and realized, what you had pointed out... I need something to process the javascript. – DannyTree Jul 22 at 14:31.

You can verify with this: Go to the url Mark the data of interest Add a take data action Test the action and see if it extracts the data you want They have a forum where you can ask general screenscraping questions.

To download the morningstar webpage, I needed a tool that would download and interpret the javascript code associated with the webpage. Many such tools for different programming languages and browsers are mentioned on StackOverflow. Here are the ones that I wound up using: htmlunit - a GUI-less browser for Java programs htmlunitscripter - a firefox add-on that autogenerates htmlunit code.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
