If I open a new page with very little text on it such as
a bugmenot
results page is there a way to select some of the text there and
assign it to variables?
Selecting all and copying to the clipboard can be done with:
document.execCommand("SelectAll");
document.execCommand("Copy");
but I'm looking for something a little more refined.
The page contains seven lines of text and I'd like a simple way to say:
var username = [contents of line 4]
var password = [contents of line 5]
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Will this help? Watch for word-wrap.

oXML.send();

var sXML = oXML.ResponseText;
var iDD1 = sXML.indexOf("<dd>");
var iDD2 = sXML.indexOf("</dd>");
var sVAL = sXML.substr(iDD1+4,iDD2-iDD1-4);

document.getElementById("PWD").value = sPWD;
document.all.i.src = sWWW+sURL;
