Hi,
I won't lie to you. I'm trying to get data from html source from a 3rd
party website. I'm NOT interested in stealing code,hacking,se nding
spam or anything sinister like that. I just want the content that is
displayed but I need to get it automatically via VB. It's only
publicly available price information but I don't think the website
wants everyone to be scraping their info into a database.
Apart from the base URL, the site concerned navigates solely through
javascript functions and session variables. I suppose what I'm asking
is, is there anything out there that tells me (the syntax) of what my
browser is actually sending to a website when I click a javascript
toolbar/button/dropdown within IE.
I see from the tone of other posts that getting inside someone else's
javascript might not be very popular, so I understand if you'd rather
not respond.
Butch.

Oh no, you

So you attempt to copy their content without permission,
violating copyright. Great. NOT.

Note: I tried cross-posting this message to several newsgoups,
including comp.lang.perl.misc, c.l.p.moderated,
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi, comp.lang.javascript and
comp.lang.php. Nothing appeared on my news server, so I'm trying
again - this time posting a separate copy of the message to each
group.
I'm thinking this should be fairly easy to accomplish - a quick and
dirty ... what? ... script? program?

Some sites seem to be session driven in the sense that if I visit the
homepage and do a few clicks I can navigate anywhere I want, but if I
paste the current location into a new browser window after having
navigated to some page, it doesn't work. It just returns to the start
page or says "timeout" etc.
This means that I can't read these pages from PHP with
$string = file_get_contents('http://some.url/blah/deep/link');

Hello;
Admittedly, I'm very new to HTML, and this is my first post to any
newsgroup, so please go easy. I was looking at the html code for an email I
received and noted an href statement that looked very unusual. The statement
was:
<a href=3D"http://www.%76%69t%2D%63%6F.com">
<INPUT TYPE=3D"submit" VALUE=3D"Order Here" style=3D"font-family: Verdana;
color: #3F79C0; ">

HI! I get an error with this code.
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
If (ifp==""){
ifp="default.htm"}
//--></SCRIPT>
Basicly I want my iframe to have a default page if the user enters in
directly. so I need a way doing this. so I check to see if the ifp value is
null and if so then assign it a value. is this correct?

Hi all,
I have recently set up a Drupal website. I am a beginner. My shared
host server does not allow nobody@localhost to send emails, and
prevents access to php.ini, so I spent some time getting a SMTP script
running. While the Drupal feedback module and the new account creation
works fine in terms of sending of mails, I am having some problems with
the sending of password reminder emails.

Hi newsgroup.
Sites which host a large download archive (think download.com) often
times don't give you a desired file directly, but redirect you to a
page, where you wait usualy 5 secs, and then the download appears..
What is the benefit of that? Why not offer the file immediately.. is
it for performance? I ask, because I am currently working on a site,
which will host too some sort of download-archive. My current design
is to give...

Hi all,
I have worked an open source javascript + html page that has the
potential to replace your existing browser home page. If you are
interested in trying it out, or learning more about it, it is freely
available at http://code.google.com/p/tphp/
I would love to hear from you if you have any comments.
Thanks,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
