hi,

i don't think you can grab the content via javascript. js shouldn't be able to connect to any site.

in perl it would be very easy:
I'll post a (very) small demo to the perl/cgi forum.

ciao

I don't think you can pull it straight off the page, but you can pull text from a text box inside a form.

var x=document.form_name.box_name.value;

You might also take a look at:

for some advanced javascript articles.

Well, because I'm trying to get some news articles,(which I've gotten legal consent to do so), and then reformat it into a layout that I specify.
ie. Headline, date, author, body.
I've seen it done, but they haven't returned my requests on how they did it. I don't know if they did it cgi, scripting, or what.
