Am I correct in assuming screen scraping is just the response text sent to the browser? If so, would that mean that this could not be screen scraped? function moi() { var tag = '<a href='; var tagType1 = '"mail'+'to:', tagType2 = '">', tagType3 = '<\/a>'; var user1 = 'web', user2 = 'master', user3 = '@'; var dom1 = 'danger', dom2 = 'ous',...

Folks: I am screen scraping a large volume of data from Yahoo Finance each evening, and parsing with Beautiful Soup.
