Hey, I'm not really stuck on this, but I'm very curious what's going on.
I was using loadVars to pull in HTML - I tried my personal site which
worked fine, and I tried google and amazon, and the HTML source was very
much out of order. I tried some other sites I made, and it seems that
if they had some kind of server side script or includes, then large
chunks of HTML were out of order.
After reading how other people load HTML, I stumbled across somebody
using the XML object. Yes....it's kinda obvious, and should have done
it that way to begin with...and seems to work great.
But this has left me wondering....what's the deal with loadVars? Out of
all the ways I was expecting it to not work for scraping HTML....this
never occured to me! I would think that whatever you pull off a server
would be in the correct order - it's not the browser (or the XML object)
that takes chunks and puts it order right?
thanks!
